Confirmed from Lone Mountain Peak's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Popular hiking area offering views of the valley, a dog park, and a playground.
What runners say about Lone Mountain Peak
“5:45 am, trying to be up top by rise, didn't quite make it but still got the great view and got to the top!”
The three Lone Mountain parks are my local neighborhood parks, and I'm spoiled to have them. There's a 3 mile hike around the peak along the trailhead and a relatively short hike up the mountain to the lowest elevation portion of the peak where you'll find a bench to sit down, relax, and take photos before heading on…
Free and open 24 hours. Nice steep trails. Awesome place to go for a mini hike and a great view of Las Vegas. The hike up only took me about 30 minutes, but it's not a race. Take breaks if you need to. I highly recommend wearing hiking shoes, stretch before you go and bring some water.
A well maintained and popular hike that affords great views of the city. Don’t underestimate this hike as the elevation gain is around 500 feet. Bring water and shade, especially in the summer months. The top of the mountain is only half way, and people have had to be rescued due to heat exhaustion.
1st time, went for a sunrise hike...5:45 am, trying to be up top by rise, didn't quite make it but still got the great view and got to the top! So many options on trails to take, even a flatter trail all the way around the bottom of the peak!

“If you choose to climb to the top, it's quite a climb with uneven footing, so be careful.”
“The trailhead is easily accessible and it is in a pleasant residential area.”
“Great views of the strip, mountains, flat lands, and all the different housing communities!”
“There are several places to park, both east and west of the peak, two parks and a portable bathroom.”
