I am an avid hiker and traveler. My UA-cam channel shows off some of the best hiking trails at many beautiful national and state parks across the country! I want to help you pick out what your next hiking trip is going to be. Let me take you along with me on my many outdoor hiking adventures!!
THE CALICO TANKS TRAIL RED ROCK CANYON NEVADA
On this outdoor hiking adventure, I am doing a local Las Vegas area hiking trail! Located about a 30-minute drive from Las Vegas is the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. The Calico Tanks Trail is labeled as moderate at 2.4 round-trip and 439 feet of elevation gain! I love this hike because it takes you up a beautiful, colorful canyon and ends with an amazing overlook! This is one of my favorites around town and I am sure you will love doing it too!

awesome views Eric and that cave area was amazing to see. I always wondered what this park was like, it's on the list. Thank you for showing us around
Yeah it's a cool little hike and the main part of the national monument is pretty awesome as well! Thanks for stopping by Nicole!
Nice local hike and plenty of parking too, great to get back to a favourite as well. I wish we had weather like that in December, in fact at any month is the year :o). Bit of a rocky old climb up in parts but great views and I can see why it got you into hiking back in the day. Funny, I bet Vagas is packed, yet just a few miles away, you have all that beauty all to yourself, cheers Alan
Yeah, it's a big parking lot, but come on a weekend in the middle of the day and it'll be full with no place to park. This is definitely an oldie, but goody for me, and it never gets boring doing it. Yeah, winter is the best time to hike here, honestly. Thank you so much Alan! I really appreciate it 🙏.
yes, I can see why this is your fave in that park, and why it got you hooked, amazing hike and rock formations!!
Yeah it's pretty obvious why it got me hooked to hiking! You gotta love it! Thanks Nicole! Great to hear from you!
Beautiful area &rock formations....easy to see why you got addicted! 👍👍
Yeah, it's pretty obvious why this hike would get me addicted! It's a beautiful one for sure! Thanks for watching my friend!
So that's where it all started for you! Awesome! Excellent footage of a beautiful area and my home away from home!
Yes, this is where it all got started! That's why this hike is very special to me! Thank you so much my friend! I really glad that you enjoyed the video!
ok I see now why the place is called the tank, in the wet season it would be filled with water, nice you have a place like this to hike so close to where you live, I enjoyed the hike through the canyon, take care my friend
Yeah it's a natural water retention tank! Pretty cool! Yeah I'm glad I live so close to this hike and many other cool trails as well! So glad you enjoyed the video my friend! Thanks Craig!
Highly recommended! A great hike when visiting Las Vegas to get some exercise, see colorful rock formations, and check out the city from an overlook.
Yeah it is a great hike when you are visiting or living in Las Vegas! It's got everything! Thanks for watching my friend!
Thank you again for taking us with you
You are very welcome my friend! Thanks for watching another video of mine!
Going in March 2025, thanks!
That is awesome! You are going to love it there! Thanks for watching!
White sands is on my list to visit one day. The landscape is very unique there isn't it! Crazy a full fledge tree can survive there! Great little trail Eric!
Yeah, White Sands is a super cool national park,especially for sunset! It was awesome that the tree was there! Thanks Josh!
What a beautiful place, how long did it take you from bottom to top?
If I remember correctly, it took me around 4 hours to complete this hike . Don't forget to add in an extra hour each way of driving to this remote location from the main part of the park.
Nice big car park and nice to get a hard hike under your belt, I always feel so good after a hike like that. Great colourful scenery and looked a really rocky walk up in parts, especially in that wind. I hate false summits and even more so almost standing on a snake! Amazing views from the summit area and sounds like you really enjoyed it too, cheers Alan
It was a very rocky hike, and the trail was very uneven. It was actually much worse going back down than going up. But it's definitely worth it for the accomplishment and the awesome views! Thanks Alan!
That looked like a challenging hike. Loved the pyramid shaped marker at the summit.
Yeah, it's definitely not an easy hike! It's very beautiful and totally worth it, though! Yes, the pyramid is super cool! Thanks for watching Mark!
LOOKS LIKE IT IS A 5 MINUTE HIKE? PERHAPS IF I WALK IN SLOW MOTION IT WILL LAST LONGER😂😂? THERE IS A NICE 16 MILE LOOP HIKE FROM THE CL LODGE THAT NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT......WTF😮
🤣😂
Just from your video alone you got me to subscribe. What video camera and accessories are you using here? Cheers
At that time, I filmed this , I was using the GoPro Hero 11 Black. I shot this at 5.3k. The lighting conditions were perfect that day also! I am really glad that you enjoyed the video, and I really appreciate you subscribing to the channel! Thank you so much!
A great hike with stunning Views in the top of Texas😉.
Yeah It was just amazing! Thank you, my friend!
I agree with you when you said you always have to check the weather when hiking..... also you need to be prepared in case the weather forecast is incorrect.....at least in my area its important. 👍👍
You are right,sometimes the forecast is wrong! That's a shame when that happens, but definitely gotta be prepared.
Great looking area. Thanks for sharing the hike 👍👍
Thanks for checking this out!
That was a big bull or gopher snake. Harmless.
Thank you so much for letting us know what that's snake was! 🐍 I really appreciate it 🙏.
I thought the first part of the high looked steep and rugged but then you had to go up to the peak using the swtichbacks , amazing views from the top well worth the journey (did you ever figure out what kind of snake it was)
Yeah, the whole hike was pretty much a climb, but it did mellow out in some areas. The views were unreal on this one! It's totally worth the effort! Someone in the comments said it was either a bull snake or a gopher snake 🐍which is harmless. Thanks for checking out another video of mine, Craig!
I have been dreaming of going to Yosemite for a long time. I just learned about Hetch Hetchy! My goodness it is gorgeous!!
Yosemite is definitely a bucket list destination! Hetch Hetchy is pretty gorgeous! I was really happy to finally make it out there! Thanks for watching!
I loved White Sands! That yellow / orange tree is gorgeous! We went to the back of the park and just played in the pristine white sand with our dog - loved that we could take her there.
The tree was definitely beautiful in all that sand! I didn't realize it was dog friendly there! Thanks for stopping by Heather!
So beautiful scenery, enjoyed your wonderful adventure, good luck my dear friend ❤❤❤👍
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the video. Visiting Oregon in Sept and we plan on doing this hike :)
You are very welcome! I hope you found this video helpful and informative! Have a great time when you go, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for the information!
You are very welcome! I am really glad that you found this video informative! Thanks for watching!
I also enjoyed my visit there. The Visitor Center is also pretty good.
Yes, I do remember the visitor center being really nice! Awesome national park overall! Thanks for watching my friend!
What a beautiful place! This is going on my Must Visit list.
It really is a wonderful place! Definitely come visit this National Park in the future! Thanks for watching!
I keep looking for the ocean ... :)
This made me laugh 😂. Yeah, the only thing missing was the ocean, definitely! Thanks for watching!
Wow! Stunning. I really love New Mexico. You really know how to pick the good trails! Thanks for sharing!
New Mexico is pretty awesome! I am really glad that you enjoyed the video, my friend! Thank you so much for watching!
The sunset looks very good and the sand could be snow with the light 😉
Yeah, the sand did look like snow ❄️ at times. Very beautiful place! Thanks for checking out another video of mine!
so beautiful in the sand thanks for taking us with you
The white sand was pretty beautiful! Thank you so much for checking out another video of mine!
Wow, this is such an interesting environment…really unique! 😮
White Sands is definitely unique and an absolutely wonderful place to explore! Thanks again, James!
An easy going Saturday here and a good time to get caught up with your NM trip. The 3 videos showcasing some Bandelier trails were filled with great views and helpful info and commentary. Thanks for all your efforts in putting these out! Now onto White Sands! Take care always 😊
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch 4 of my videos just now. Bandelier National Monument was pretty awesome, and I am glad that you enjoyed seeing it! Thanks, James!
nice sundown to close the video, how was the walking on the trail, would it feel the same as beach sand or do your feet sink a bit more into the it and that was something to come across a tree all by itself, very interesting place to hike, take care Eric
Very much like a SoCal beach but with elevation to climb. The tree is rooted in the soil beneath the sand so was likely there before the sand came along.
Luckily, this sand wasn't making me sink in it like the beach, which would have tired me out. The random tree in the middle of all the sand was pretty cool! Thanks, Craig!
The fact that the tree was even there was cool! But I am sure it's been around a long time. Thanks for watching!
Now they were white sands and what a massive car park too. Wow that was indeed amazing, it looked like a scene from Lawrence of Arabia and just as well those blue markers were there. Now that was one awesome time-lapse of the setting sun, amazing skies, cheers Alan
Yeah, it does look like something out of Lawrence of Arabia! The landscape is beautiful, especially during sunset! The only thing missing was the ocean! Thanks, Alan!
Great views but not expecting to see those wooden ladders but that rocky trail looked really rocky but thank goodness for another ladder. Makes my blood boil when people do not respect the area they are hiking/camping in, just no need for it. That cave was super cool but I would not fancy living there, not then and sure not now, cheers Alan
Yeah, the views were great, and the ladders were really helpful! It is truly a shame when people don't respect the natural areas like this. The cave was pretty nice and spacious, but there is nothing like a real home to live in, lol. I always appreciate you checking out my videos, my friend! Thank you so much, Alan!
Super cool Eric!
Thank you so much, Ianna! 🙂
Interesting trail course and a great view from the cave I'm currently shocked by the news from Los Angeles. Even though I was only there at the beginning of September.  Feedback Wird auch oft
Yeah, this was a super cool little hike! I enjoyed it! I live in Las Vegas now, but I grew up in the LA area. It is pretty crazy and sad what's going on there with the fires! Some of the most beautiful parts of LA are completely gone now, unfortunately 😕. It's mind-blowing how many homes and businesses were lost.
Wow, what a start with that ladder. Very unique. Hahaha, I've never been to a trail where the actual trail is carved into the rocks like that. A short but interesting trail! The entry way to the cave looked like an arrow head.
This was definitely a fun little unique hike! The ladders, rock carved trail, and cave were super cool! The cave entrance did look like an arrowhead! Thanks, Josh!
That looks enjoyable.
It's a fun little adventurous hike! Thanks for watching!
that was cool how the trail was cut into the rock and then climbing the ladder, to think that people had lived in that cave at one time in the past, good video
Thank you so much, Craig! It was a cool little unique hike to go on. The trail to follow is definitely different! The cave was definitely big enough to live in. Much appreciated, my friend!
Good vid, sir
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
❤
Thank you!
first time i did this trail i was 4 years old. it was the first hike i ever did without being carried.
Oh, that's pretty awesome! That's a good first hike walking on your own! Thanks for watching my friend!
Great Views. Thank you😊
Thank you, my friend! Happy New Year!!
@@adventuringoutdoorswitheric all the best wishes for you in the new year
Glad you didn't come face to face with that spider! I would have been OUTTA THERE! lol. That status has a similar body to me. My goal for 2025 is to transform it so it's a slightly better version of that statue, lol.
Seeing the spider would have been cool, but being a narrow trail, it would have been a pain to get around it! Best of luck with your fitness goals in 2025! Happy New Year, Josh!!
there were some cool views on the way up the trail at the start of the video and from the overlook, good advice for anyone watching who might want to do this hike, hope you had a good new year day and looking forward to more of your videos in 2025
Thank you so much, Craig! I hope that you had a great New Year's Day as well. I wanted to give people the best advice to save time and make the most of their trip here. Great views definitely to the top of the canyon and the overlook! Much appreciated, my friend!
@adventuringoutdoorswitheric good to pass on information like that
A colourful hike as well as a very scenic one too, although, not the whole trail and whoever put that bench there give them a medal - what a view. Great view from the overlook and real pleased to see someone has done a statue for me up there as well, real nice of them! Cheers Alan
Yeah, the bench was perfectly placed for a rest and view spot! This was a great hike to get away from people and enjoy the scenery for the most part! Thanks, Alan!
4rd Like, an another awesome video, great presentation. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching! I am really glad that you enjoyed it! Much appreciated!
