The Elephant Rock Loop Trail is just over a mile long.  The parking is located at the East entrance to Valley if Fire, but you could also park at the Arrowhead lot about a 1/2 mile into the park from the East entrance.

Everyone always asks, "What's the best way to see the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas?"  This is such an open ended question, however.  What does the Grand Canyon mean to you?  Are you talking about the National Parks or just the gaping hole in the earth's surface?  There are so many options and I'm here to break it down for you!

Got a day to kill in Las Vegas?  Let me recommend a trip out to Tecopa, CA for a hike to a slot canyon, fresh dates, and a soak in a natural, free hot spring!

What's better than visiting a National Park for the first time?  How about staying in a Hobbit Hole when you do!?

In November 2021 I hiked Angels Landing to Scout Lookout.  I then went up a very short distance on the Angels Landing chains.  Click to read my review of the hike!

In October 2021 I went to Peach Springs, Arizona and purchased a pass from the Hualapai Nation to traverse on a 20 mile dirt road/trail into the Grand Canyon.  As far as I know, it's the only part of the Grand Canyon that you can drive all of the way to the bottom of the canyon.

Spring Mountain Ranch State Park outside Las Vegas, NV has several short hiking trails.  Although there is a little elevation gain on the Sandstone Canyon Loop trail, I would say all there trails are easy.  These photos are from October 2021.
