Hiker at Wheeler Camp Spring Trailhead (view S) |
Wheeler Camp Spring Trailhead is located in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, about 30 minutes west of Las Vegas, but not in the Scenic Loop Road fee area. The trailhead is located on West Charleston Blvd (Highway 159) south of the exit from the Scenic Loop Road. This trailhead is not in the fee area.
From town, drive out to Red Rocks. From West Charleston Blvd at the entrance to the Scenic Loop Road (Table 1, Site 519), continue west on Charleston Blvd. for 6.7 miles to an unsigned spur road on the right (south) side of the road (Site 1343). Turn right onto the spur road, which leads a short distance into a defined parking lot. Park here; this is the trailhead.
For drivers who miss the turn, the next road is the entrance to Blue Diamond. Turn around and turn left at the first opportunity.
Trail: Wheeler Camp Spring, also access to Blue Diamond Bike trails.
