We thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip. Our guide John was a exceptional guide, a pleasure to be with. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, experienced and eager to point out attractions along the way as soon as we left the hotel. We absolutely enjoyed the drive to the park which was a sight seeing tour in itself and once we reached the park the sights were stunning , John pointed out all the local plants and herbs as well as local animal that were around. The whole experience was well worth the effort and cost. We took a half day afternoon easy hike which was just right for us. Ask for John on your trip you will be very happy you did.

The Valley of Fire State Park is amazing. We had a great trip. John, our guide, was fantastic. He’s filled with all kinds of knowledge, and eager to share. We learned about formations,plant life, and local animals. And the views are wonderful. I recommend this trip.

Valley of Fire has spectacular multicolor rock formations and blue blue skies. Chad, our guide for Love Hikes difficult afternoon hike led us off trail up and down the formations like kids on a jungle gym. Great views. Good exercise. Chad brought water and snacks. Occasionally over the 5 hour hike Chad led the more adventurous couple up for even greater views. I was happy for a chance to sit and enjoy the scenery. _br/_ Sunset was beautiful against the colorful rocks at end of hike. The road out of Valley of Fire park showed us two foxes, a bighorn sheep, and several tiny mice. We were happy hikers.

Chad was an excellent guide and it was a beautiful day to spend hiking and rock scrambling, was not sure about the scrambling but I did enjoy the challenge. It was an excellent experience and the pictures came out amazing!

I was in a group of 3, hard am tour, with John as guide, who took us on a fantastic completely unique off-the-trail route. John was a great guide, carrying our snacks/water and making the experience very personable and interesting. Views were amazing. Couldn't recommend enough! Thanks John+LoveHike!

Daniel was an amazing tour guide and person. I was the only person on the tour but I had a fantastic time. The hike was a good length of time and was able to see so much of the beautiful park. We ended up seeing a lot of wildlife, which was amazing. I loved every part of the tour and would do it again, as well as recommend it to friends and family. Thank you!!

I'd love to tell you a story but I had to cancel called but no refund ever came my way because the person I was travelling with became very ill and I had to arrange a flight no refund either to get her home._br/_ It was to have been one of the highlights of our trip ...

I did an early morning hike with my two daughters who are 8 and 12. We chose the moderate level hike which turned out to be just right. It was probably something like 2.5-3 hours of actual hiking which was certainly not easy given the extreme heat even in the very early morning hours. But guide John carried 14 bottles of water in his backpack and kept us on mostly shaded trails once the sun came out. Much to my kids delight there was a lot of rock climbing involved which definitely helped keep the younger one from complaining. Since it was just the three of us it appears that groups are always that small we had a lot of input of where we wanted to go, how much climbing we wanted to do etc. So there is flexibility. We all loved the hike.Guide John gave us a lot of information, pointed out Coyote and snake trails and all kinds of plants and even told us a lot of things about LV and surroundings on the drive to the Valley which took about an hour. The pick up was at 5am which seems very early but is really worth it because we got to see the sun rise over the valley which was priceless. I would absolutely recommend this tour. There is no way I could have done a hike like that on my own, I would have gotten lost, trails are not marked well at all. And we really didn't hike on marked trails anyway. Thumbs up!!

I had a wonderful time on the Mouse Tank trail in the Valley of Fire with guide Daniel. Beautiful, distinct petroglyphs. Desert vegetation. Lizards. Scenery. Daniel was very knowledgeable and professional. It was very hot though end of July, but we had plenty of water along.

My husband and I have a great time with our tour guide John.
Review by: Zachary W, March 2018
Was the only client to show up for the tour. My guide went out of his way to provide me with the best experience possible for the intermediate hike. Not only was he an excellent guide, he was an all around good guy and shared life stories that added to the overall depth of the trip. His first hand knowledge of the park and its inhabitants made for one outstanding and memorable trip. Would highly recommend for anyone at any fitness level.

Originally I had planned on renting a car and going myself because I'm pretty independent. I decided against it, because I don't always do well with heat and thought maybe I shouldn't be hiking alone. If renting a car yourself is something you are thinking of doing - don't. There were no trail markers, and the trail itself was short. Our guide took us much farther and off the trail. I would have never been able to do this by myself, I would have gotten lost if I had tried.

Get away from the casinos and enjoy nature just one hour away from the strip. Beautiful state park with great trails.

I really enjoyed my hike in the Valley of Fire. Dan, our guide, was courteous and knowledgeable and the group was small enough for him to be able to provide personal attention to each of us. Even though I begged him, he wasn't able to find us a real, live rattlesnake, but we saw great barrel cacti they don't hide so well and played 'nature detective' trying to identify what animals had made tracks in the sand. It was by far the most authentic and rewarding part of this traveller's visit to the Las Vegas area. And no one got bit.

Incredibly beautiful hike through the Valley of Fire. Our guide was helpful and informative, while at the same time not over talkative so that we could enjoy the peacefulness and spirituality of our surroundings. I would love to come back and spend more time there. My only suggestion is to provide a step for getting into the jeep. I'm in my 60's, and only 5 feet tall. I was difficult for me to jump into the jeep.

Dan was awesome..... I still talk about this hike, seeing the bighorn sheep, petroglyphs, learning about the area all Amazing!!!!_br/_ Would recommend this to everyone who enjoys the outdoors, wildlife, fresh air and beautiful scenery.

This trip with Love Hikes was the BEST ever! John who guided me and this one other person was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. He knew the hike trails extremely well and ensured we got our monies worth. It was a 2 hour hike which was wonderful. I had so much fun that I wished it was 3 hours! In all it was a memorable experience from the scenery to the experience from the get go! Highly recommend them! Will definitely do this again if I am ever back in Vegas. I did the moderate level btw.
