Fitness Series: Hike # 4: Firehouse Hill Horseshoe Out-n-Back

Before You Join Us
To help us get everyone on the trail safely and efficiently, please complete the VegasHikers participant waiver before the hike. Completing it in advance helps speed up the check-in process so we can spend less time on paperwork and more time enjoying the trail. Click to open➡️Participant Waiver and download it, fill it out, and email it to the address provided ( highlighted in yellow).

If you have already filled out a participant waiver from me, there's nothing else to do!

📌Our hike: This version of Firehouse Hill is a horseshoe style out-n-back hike that follows trail westbound and turns south toward the base of Firehouse Hill. We'll continue east past Firehouse Hill down to the Red Rock Canyon Campground, then turn around and hike back the way we came. This hike starts out easy and features a moderately challenging route with a nice balance of ascents and descents. Since the goal of this hike is fitness, you'll need to maintain a fast pace.

These hikes are designed to strengthen cardiovascular health and, ultimately, your pace and stamina on the trails.

Note to Consider Before Signing Up!
These are advanced fitness hikes, not beginner hikes. This is not a hike to test whether you can keep up. You should already know from your current hiking experience that you can maintain the stated pace, distance, and terrain for the entire hike.

I will be running this Fitness Series on a seasonal basis (Fall & Spring).

Carry a minimum of 2 L of water, a light snack, & a headlamp or other light source
