Blue Diamond > To The Top

This trail starts off going up Fossil Ridge Trail to the old mining road and goes northwest to the junction of Second Finger Trail then right. The trail continues southeast to Bone Shaker Trail junction. From here head for the Radio Tower which is just a few yards from The Las Vegas Overlook. This is my most hiked trail on the Hill.

Blue Diamond Hill is a 4,931 Foot Peak that provides sweeping views of Red Rock Canyon and the entire Las Vegas Valley. It is home to some of the best Mountain Biking, Hiking and Horseback Riding trails in Sothern Nevada. These trails are also dog friendly.
