Hike This!

My wife and I did the scramble and it was a blast. Neil provided us with a fabulous experience including lots of great pictures to share with our family and friends. The scramble offered both of us just the right amount of physical challenge. While constantly assessing our ability, Neil always chose the perfect rout and encouraged us with stories, geology and witty comments about life.
No special equipment or gear is needed. Low cut hiking or running shoes offer great traction.
Upon reaching the summit Neil broke out snacks and drinks. We could see Las Vegas in the distance. It was in stark contrast to the beauty of nature and Red Rock Canyon. Call Neil. You won’t be disappointed. He’s a gem, the vistas are amazing and the scramble is a hoot!

Neil from Hike This! offers customized private hiking and rock scrambling tours of Red Rock Canyon that are not to be missed. Red Rock Canyon is a 20 minute drive from the Strip, and is an amazing destination for the outdoors enthusiast or for those looking to see the natural beauty that lies beyond the glitz and glam of the casinos.
My boyfriend was planning on playing poker tournaments during the day, and I wanted to take the opportunity to explore Red Rock Canyon. Since I was going to be doing this solo, I wanted to find a guided tour, and I’m so glad that I stumbled upon Hike This! to take me on a private one-​on-​one Rock Scramble.
Neil, owner and guide of Hike This! is an absolute delight: super warm and friendly and very professional. He picked me up directly in front of the hotel I was staying at and provided a pack, snacks, water and sunscreen for our excursion. Neil asked me about my fitness level and my hiking experience before we began heading off trail to rock scramble. Throughout the scramble, Neil carefully assessed how I was doing to make sure that I was comfortable with what we were doing.
I’m pretty outdoorsy and fit, so we went scrambling all over the sandstone and did some technical hand over foot climbing to ascend to this gorgeous overlook of the canyon. The sandstone offers some of the best footing around: it’s super grippy, and I became very confident climbing up and down it. At the top, we had a snack (apples, cheese and granola bars) before climbing back down.
Along the way, Neil was taking photos of me which he emailed to me later that day. The photos are professional quality, and it was fantastic to be able to share action shoots with my boyfriend.
We spent about 3 hours hiking and scrambling before hopping back in the car and taking the rest of the scenic loop of the park before heading back to the hotel.
If you’re looking for a unique and exciting way to explore Red Rock Canyon, look no further than Neil at Hike This! He’s a wonderful and experienced guide and is a delight to hike with. His excursions are incredibly popular and book quickly, so make your reservation soon!

Great experience with «Hike This»
Neil is a genuinely nice guy. He wants nothing more than to make sure you are completely satisfied.
The custom configured hike and the amazing views make for a memorable encounter.
He provides all the basic necessities and is more than willing to adjust the route as needed.
We took the Rock Scramble and it provided a challenging workout along with a great sense of accomplishment once we reached the top.
«Satisfaction Guaranteed» would be an understatement. This guy is highly recommended.

We are fit and in our early 60’s, but had never hiked Red Rock Canyon near Las Vegas. What a FABULOUS experience with Neil Sobelson of Hike This! He is a gentle, knowledgeable guy who will pace the hike or rock scramble to your abilities. We chose the hike and it was a delightful adventure.
Red Rock Canyon is absolutely gorgeous with colorful rock formations and awe-​inspiring views. Neil makes sure there’s no stress, picking us up on time at our hotel, driving the 17-​miles to Red Rock Canyon and bringing water, snacks, sunblock, even hats for those who forget them. He answers emails promptly.
This was the highlight of our trip to Las Vegas and we highly recommend Hike This. When you consider how expensive Las Vegas has become, the price for this half-​day of fun and great exercise is a bargain!

I would highly recommend this hike! I was part of a group, consisting of various ages and physical abilities. Neil was able to lead us all in a somewhat challenging, but not too difficult, and immensely rewarding, excursion. As he had a hiking partner, Patty, join us, they were able to tailor parts of the hike to our various abilities, leading those who were interested along a slightly more difficult route in some places.
When I visit an area or city, I enjoy any opportunity to get out and experience some of the surrounding nature. Red Rock Canyon park is beautiful and I found the geological history to be quite interesting; Neil was very informative on that topic.
As with another review, we had much-​appreciated snacks at the summit of our route. Both Neil and Patty were very patient with us, and there was never the sensation of being rushed along. They are both so pleasant; you’ll enjoy your time with them.
