Las Vegas PRIDE OUTside hosts monthly hikes all around the Las Vegas valley. These events are free to attend, open to all, and a nice way to get a little exercise and time in the great OUTdoors.

The Floyd Lamb State Park features the Tule Springs Loop, which is a free-to-access trail that interconnects with the greater park area. This area features lakes and grass, historic buildings, level trails, both paved and unpaved, and a mix of desert and green scenery and wildlife.

We meet at the intersection of Racel and Cimarron with ample free parking. At 10:15 am, we head out on the trail. The trail is level and even with little change in elevation on our roughly 4-mile loop. We will be in the sun, exposed for most of our time on the trail, so please plan for sun protection, including a hat or umbrella and sunscreen.

As we leave the desert trails and head into the lake area of the park, there are restrooms and water fountains for anyone in need. We plan to spend time in this area and posted info boards share the history of the park and the few historic buildings on the path. It’s common to see the park’s many peacocks and other birds and wildlife, especially in this area.

If you plan to attend a hike, please take some precautions with appropriate footwear and clothing. Wear sunscreen and bring snacks and plenty of water!
