What Trails Near The Vistas Are Good for Dogs?

The Summerlin Trail System is the primary resource for dog owners in The Vistas. With over 150 miles of paved and maintained walking, jogging, and biking paths, this master planned trail network connects neighborhoods across the entire Summerlin community. Many of these trails are wide enough for comfortable walking with a leash, and they wind through landscaped corridors with shade and open desert views.

Within The Vistas itself, walking paths run throughout the community, connecting residents to all three neighborhood parks: Vistas Community Park, North Tower Park, and South Tower Park. These interior paths are perfect for morning and evening dog walks without needing to load up the car.

Can You Take Dogs to Red Rock Canyon?

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area sits roughly 10 miles west of The Vistas along Charleston Boulevard. The area features over 30 miles of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails. Dogs are permitted on most trails as long as they are kept on a leash no longer than six feet. This makes Red Rock a fantastic weekend destination for Vistas residents who want to take their dogs on longer, more rugged hikes with stunning desert scenery.

What Makes The Vistas a Good Neighborhood for Dog Owners?

Beyond trail access, The Vistas offers a pet friendly community atmosphere. The 815 acre village includes wide sidewalks, well maintained green spaces at all three parks, and a neighborhood layout that encourages outdoor activity. The community's location on the western edge of Las Vegas also means easy access to open desert trails and natural areas that many inner city neighborhoods simply cannot offer.
