Trail Overview

Rocky Gap is a difficult trail that traverses the Spring Mountain Range west of Las Vegas. Several challenging rocky washes make up the west side of the trail. Steep shelf ledges make up the east side. Winter snow will change this trail every year, and also makes it almost impassable in winter. The elevation does provide for a cool summertime escape from the heat of the desert floor.

Difficulty

There are rocky washes with large boulders and rock outcroppings to negotiate. A vehicle with a lift and larger off-road tires will be required.
