Top 10 Outdoor Activities in Laughlin, Nevada (NV)

November 8, 2021 Matilde Konrad

Hit the casinos, watch big-name entertainment and stay at a themed hotel. Las Vegas? No, but this small gambling town on the banks of the Colorado River offers a taste of Vegas minus the glitz, traffic and high costs. Plus, there's much to do here besides gambling. Not only does Laughlin have the Colorado River for boating, swimming, fishing, waterskiing and other sports, but it also has gorgeous Lake Mohave offering much of the same on a grander scale. Golfers will enjoy beautiful courses where reasonable green fees stretch their dollars. For a taste of the Wild West, head to nearby 100-year-old Oatman, where you can catch a mock gunfight and guzzle beer in an old-time saloon. Hiking, anyone? Grapevine Canyon awaits you, famous for the Indian markings - some 800 years old - carved into its boulders. If the slots are calling, you'll find plenty of gaming houses, with water shuttles running between them 24/7. What Laughlin lacks in Vegas glamour, it makes up for in affordability, scenic beauty and aquatic fun.

Christmas Tree Pass

Reviewed By markbQ4119SP - Canada, null

We were staying in the Laughlin area and wanted to do some exploration and hiking and had read about this area and road and decided to take a gander. We had a 4x4 vehicle in case we encountered any mud holes etc so we were good to go. We took the road thru all the vistas and it was beautiful and breathtaking seeing all the canyons and scenery. You really get a feeling of peace and serenity being in these areas and i love it every time im back. This time we came with our kids and mother in law. We got out of the car a few times to hike a few areas and saw all kinds of cool rock formations and even some Tarantulas. Always wear proper footwear for these Adventures. The main attraction was the Grapevine canyon exit which was awesome. Just a 1 mile hike to the area of petroglyphes! Christmas tree pas is a must visit if in this area.

So much fun!!! Rented a Razer for my husband's 60th birthday and we had a blast! The unit worked really well and the trails were very visible. Had the unit for 4 hours and the first place we hit was Oatman for some much needed breakfast after birthday celebrations the night before. The staff were awesome! We were thoroughly instructed on how to use the unit and what to do and not to do. We are not off roaders normally but everything was well put together you didn't have to be a pro!!! I highly recommend these folks. Deposit was not outrageous. There are many trails that take you through the desert with some great scenery. We really enjoyed the river bottom.
