Around the Bend Friends Hiking Club of Las Vegas

As a hiking club based in Las Vegas, Nevada, we are a group of young-at-heart people age 50 and over who participate in outdoor activities. We welcome adult guests from anywhere in the world.

Lots of hikes, see website for list as it changes constantly.

    Hikes Start at:

  • Red Rock Canyon
  • Mount Charleston
  • Lake Mead South
  • Lake Mead North
  • Valley of Fire/Gold Butte

IMPORTANT NOTE #1 – Hike coordinators may not always be at either the early or primary assembly points. Participants will need to monitor the time and set up carpooling to the next meeting location or pickup point when that occurs. Although most of these situations are noted in the hike descriptions, others may occur that are not so noted.

IMPORTANT POINT #2 – When reading the descriptions you will see references to both Lake Mead Boulevard and Lake Mead Parkway. These are different streets. Lake Mead Boulevard is an east-west street on the north side of Las Vegas that runs completely across the city. Lake Mead Parkway is on the south side of the city and is an east-west street that starts at the junction of I-515 and I-215 and extends over to the lake. Please do not mix these up.

Times indicated for each hike are departure times and are strictly observed. Usually the group will begin arriving as much as one-half hour prior to the scheduled departure times.
