Valley of Fire Moderate Hike
LoveOfSouthwest, October 2026
We did a 4 hour moderate guided hike in Valley of Fire & it was awesome! Our guide, Nick, knew the park and trails exceptionally well. We got to go off the trails & experience some of the back country. It was a peaceful hike & nice getaway from the hustle of the strip! And Nick gave us excellent recommendations for dinner & breakfast! Always a bonus’!

Afternoon Adventure
Suzanne_N, October 2026
Wonderful trip!! Nick did a great job taking us off trail for most of the trip, so we didn't see any other hikers until the end. We had a great mixture of sand and rocks to hike on, while mixing in some gentle bouldering. He made sure that we were out of the direct sun in many cases. Nick also had an extensive knowledge of the area, including plants, tv/movie productions, and historical info. Highly recommend the trip. I can see why they have the "You can die" sign - but Nick kept us very safe. Excellent way to spend an afternoon.

10/10 Must See & Hike for yourself at the Valley of Fire State Park!
Flyer23797983309, October 2026
10/10 Must See & Hike for yourself at the Valley of Fire State Park! This is our second annual hike my husband and I have taken with Love Hikes at the Valley of Fire. Let me first start by saying I had to use my other account to leave another review since Google only allows one review per location, but Love Hikes is worth taking my time to leave a second review.
The owner Roberta was spot on when choosing our wilderness wayfinder guide when we found out Nick was unavailable for the time we were in Vegas by choosing Will Scarfino. I asked for someone fun like Nick and that is exactly what we got. We did another Moderate Level hike this year on our anniversary and brought a friend with us this time. Will made everyone feel comfortable with jokes on the ride up and several opportunities to use the restrooms before our hike and after and so much fun in between. Will gives you some history, fun facts and options to challenge yourself if you choose.
To start off on our adventure, the trail Will selected for us got averted right in the beginning with the Dessert Bighorn Sheep & Ram laying down and grazing in our path so we took a detour and then we saw more just about a hundred feet in front of us shortly after. It was so awesome to see them on our actual trail this time. I love that we went on a different trail then last year and that Will allowed us to go a little off the trail if we felt comfortable doing so. We got to stop and climb different terrain for pics if we wanted and Will took many pictures of us that we couldn't take ourselves from different points of view and I was grateful for that as my husband didn't take the most important point of view of me, but only a close up...lol. Will is not only a great hiking guide, but also an avid hiker, a climber, a personal trainer, a massage therapist, a dad, and dog owner. Those are all great qualities to have as a wilderness wayfinder guide, basically saying he's very experienced at his job, caring and compassionate, fun, and knows a bit about the human body.
Should you decide to book with Love Hikes in the Vegas area, I can promise you that you will have an amazing time, an unforgettable experience and you can't go wrong with Will as your guide. I only have one dilemma the next time we are in Vegas, who to request as our guide? Can I request both Will & Nick together and Will's dog too? 😍🙏
