Hiking Around Las Vegas, Red Rocks National Conservation Area, Mt Potosi Area
 Birdspring Overlook (view S from the saddle) |
Overview Birdspring Overlook is a short add-on to the hike to Birdspring Peak or a short add-on to the drive up to Birdspring Saddle. For non-hikers, the view of Las Vegas from the overlook is every bit as good as the view from the summit. The summit has views in more directions, but the view of Las Vegas is almost the same. Link to map. Watch Out This is a safe hike, but be careful on the edge of the overlook. |
 The old road continues a bit south from the saddle (view SE) |
The Hike From the parking area on Birdspring Saddle, Birdspring Road continues a few yards farther south and climbs onto the Overlook. It is, however, a short 1-2-minute walk to the end of the road, so walking up to Birdspring Overlook gives people a chance to stretch their legs. For details of access, cautions, and the Birdspring Peak Route, see the full description of the Birdspring Peak hike. |
