About the Experience

Our newest kayaking destination is quickly becoming a guest favorite. With its blue-green waters and orange sandstone, Sand Hollow is an amazing backdrop for kayaking, hiking, and photography. The lake is surrounded by salmon pink sand dunes, and red rocks.

Paddle your kayak around the small coves, or perhaps learn to SUP on this beginner friendly lake. Enjoy a healthy lunch while digging your bare toes into the coral colored sand.

Once you have thoroughly explored Sand Hollow, take a short, scenic drive to Snow Canyon.

Tucked quietly away in sandstone cliffs and giant black lava flows, the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve awaits. Originally established to protect the endangered desert tortoise and its habitat, the area offers fabulous hiking opportunities.

Scramble over fiery red sandstone and wind your way deep into the Hidden Pinyon trail. Sage and juniper scent the air, as you trek over ancient basalt flows. You might see coyotes, quail, roadrunners, or a canyon tree frog.

Anasazi Indians inhabited the region from A.D. 200 to 1250, followed by Pauite Indians. Mormon pioneers later stumbled upon it while searching for lost cattle.

This is the most value-packed and scenic outdoor tour you could experience while in Vegas. This tour package for two includes a hotel room in historic Boulder City at the newly remodeled Best Western, along with breakfast at the Southwest Diner. The hotel is within walking distance of local shops, brew pubs, and restaurants.
