FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions for Valley of Fire Hiking Tours

What should I bring with me?The main items we recommend are a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, hiking shoes and lip balm. Bottled water is included in the tour package but we recommend bringing your own hydration pack/Camelback if planning in advance for moderate or intense hikes where you may wish to have your hands free. Love Hikes also provides healthy snacks but those with allergies may wish to bring their own. Additional snacks may be purchased by customers at the Moapa River Indian Reservation truck stop. Additional items to consider include: all personal medications (there are bees during the spring and summer months along the trail so allergies should be considered), a day pack (limited number provided by the company), hand sanitizer, a camera, a bandana, athletic clothing for the time of year in a desert, and layered clothing when weather demands.

What kind of shoes should I wear? Closed toed shoes are recommended for all hikes. Shoe choice is largely about personal preference. We recommend hiking shoes where possible but athletic shoes with gripping soles also work great for most customers. As you will be going over rocks of various sizes and sand, hiking sandals are not recommended. Most people just end up with rocks in their feet. Our Guides hike in trail runners, hiking boots, or athletic shoes depending on their preference

What do you mean by Friendly, Moderate and Intense? Friendly tours take you over beach-like sand, pebbled paths and low scrambles over boulders at a comfortable pace.This is ideal for families with younger children or lessexperienced hikers, Moderate tours are still at a comfortablepace but take visitors up rocky hills and require a decentamount of physical fitness. You will incorporate your handsin assisting you up some portions. Intense hikes are best forthe avid hiker or rock scrambler who is seeking the ultimate adventure. Use of both feet and hands will be required to getyou to amazing views!

Friendly hikescan be tailored to those with joint problems or other physical concerns when needed. Moderate hikes require customers to lift their knee to at least a ninety degree angle to climb“nature’s built-in steps”. Intense hikes will include climbing challenging hills of rock.
