Icebox Canyon

Icebox Canyon is located 20 miles west of Las Vegas. The trail is within the 13 mile scenic loop. There is plenty of parking and a public restroom at the trailhead.

The trail is about 3 miles roundtrip. Hiking to the canyon is leveled and easy. Once you get to the fork, follow the creek on the south side. After heavy rain, you can see the waterfall from the fork. There is no marked trail to get to the waterfalls on the south side of the canyon and requires minor rock jumping/climbing. Some areas are a little tricky and not dog-friendly.
