Homecoming Night Hike

Our neighbors at Shadow Ridge High School are throwing their Homecoming dance, so we're joining the fun by hosting a Homecoming-themed night hike right across the street! Feel free to don corsages, crowns and sashes over your trail-appropriate clothes and shoes. Dress up in your hometown high school colors or do your hair and makeup just like you did for your own Homecoming dance. Be sure to wear safe and comfortable costumes that will let you enjoy the hike in nostalgic style. This self-guided hike starts at the Monumental Mammoth and will be on the Las Vegas Wash Trail (1.5 miles).
