Exploration Peak Park
ParkHigh confidenceAn 80-acre Clark County park with a western-themed playground, water spray park, and an amphitheater at the base of Exploration Peak. The playground area has covered pavilions and shade structures, but the hiking trail to the 2,846-foot summit is a shadeless dirt path with only a couple of covered bench rest stops. Stick to the base area in summer heat, or hike early morning only.
