About this spot

Jackrabbit Buttress

The Jackrabbit Buttress is a popular destination in the Las Vegas Wash watershed of Nevada. It is a rock formation that stands tall and is visible from miles away. The area is perfect for hiking and rock climbing, as there are multiple trails leading to the top of the formation. Visitors can also enjoy the scenic views of the Las Vegas valley and the surrounding mountain ranges. The area is rich in wildlife, and visitors may see jackrabbits, coyotes, snakes, and lizards during their hike.

One of the unique things about the Jackrabbit Buttress is its geological formation. The formation is made up of sandstone and limestone, and its unique shape was created through erosion over millions of years. Visitors can also see evidence of Native American rock art in the area, which is believed to be thousands of years old. The Jackrabbit Buttress is also known for its beautiful sunsets, which are best viewed from the top of the formation. Overall, the Jackrabbit Buttress is a great destination for hikers, rock climbers, nature lovers, and anyone looking for a unique and adventurous experience in Nevada.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
