About this spot

Lost Creek Canyon

The Lost Creek Canyon is a hidden gem in the Las Vegas Wash watershed of Nevada. This narrow canyon is located in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and offers a unique hiking experience. The trail starts at the end of a gravel road and leads hikers through a lush oasis filled with trees, streams, and waterfalls. As visitors hike deeper into the canyon, they will encounter pools of crystal-clear water, towering cliffs, and impressive rock formations. The hike is moderate and suitable for experienced hikers, as it requires some scrambling and crossing streams. Lost Creek Canyon is a great destination for people who want to escape the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas and enjoy the natural beauty of Nevada.

One of the unique things about Lost Creek Canyon is the rock formations and the water features that are found throughout the hike. The trail leads hikers through a narrow gorge that has been carved out by the creek over millions of years. The canyon walls are made up of red sandstone, which has been shaped into interesting formations by erosion. Along the way, visitors can see several waterfalls cascading down the canyon walls. The highlight of the hike is the 100-foot waterfall at the end of the trail. The waterfall flows into a pool of water, which is a great spot for a refreshing swim on a hot day. Overall, the Lost Creek Canyon is a must-visit destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers visiting the Las Vegas area.

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.
