Lone Mtn Loop & Trivia Night - Aces & Ales (Hiking with Jeff)

It's time for the Spring Circuit - Same loop, new season! Let's step into the heat as we walk the Lone Mountain loop then head over to Aces and Ales for "Geeks Who Drink Trivia Night".

This will be an easy, moderately paced hike. We will do 2 loops clockwise around the mountain. We start promptly at 5pm so please arrive 5-10 minutes before. If you can’t make it in time for the first loop, we are usually circling back to start the second loop around 5:45 PM. The trail is wide and graded, with elevation in sections, not all at once. Please don't worry about your speed on the hike. The pace is social. The route is a loop so you can't get lost. There may be some breeze and perhaps shadows at times but it will be hot so bring water. If you wish to bring your pet (dog, cat, pet alligator, comfort rooster or even your Christmas Hippopotamus) be sure they are well cared for, under control and play well with others!

After the hike, you are welcome to attend a Trivia Night. Sorry, no pets for this. Please don't worry about being "good at trivia". The questions are very diverse so anyone can have the answers. The most important thing is we are here to have fun!

Meeting Locations:
The hike is at Lone Mountain Discovery Park. There are many places to park your vehicle so it can be a bit confusing. We will meet at the parking lot just south of the equestrian center. The entrance is at the intersection of Jensen St. and Helena Ave.

• Please take a look at the photos section of this event. I have uploaded a map with a red line around the parking lot where we will meet.
• If you are using the Meetup app on your phone, there is a Location section that opens the map on your phone. That should direct you to the correct meeting location.

Trivia night is at Aces and Ales, 2801 N Tenaya Way, Las Vegas.

• Nearest major cross streets are Cheyenne and Tenaya.
• Google Maps
• Apple Maps

If you can't make the 5PM start time, you should be able to catch up to us at 5:45PM. At that time we should be passing the original meeting location, so you can join us for the second lap. If you plan to meet at this time, please let me know by message or in the comments so we can look for you.

About your Host, Jeff
Jeff has been hanging with VegasHikers for years, but he’s never had the opportunity to get out on the rocks and trails. It wasn’t his fitness level that held him back, but his eyesight. He’s “the blind guy”, always listening to the tales of the trail, because he didn’t think he could keep up.
That changed in November 2025. After training at home, he started signing up with the Tuesday night Lone Mountain Loop and Trivia at Aces & Ales. Very active as a teen, he's enjoyed getting back outside and now that he's been bitten by the hiking bug, there are several slow to moderate hikes he wants to post.

Distance: About 4.5-5 miles (2 loops)
Elevation gain: around 150 feet per loop
Exposure: None
Speed: About 3 mph
Time: About 1.5 hours for the hike. Trivia night is from 7PM to 9PM.
