Las Vegas sits in the Mojave Desert basin beneath the Spring Mountains and near arid canyons and reservoirs; steep sandstone cliffs, limestone gorges and desert washes shape the local landscape. Waterfall hikes within fifty miles include a short roadside cascade, a moderate desert-canyon trek and a strenuous technical scramble into narrow gorges, notable for the contrast of sun-baked desert and intermittent spring-fed flows and for dramatic red-rock geology and desert-adapted vegetation.
