Where to go
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area
One of the easiest-to-access natural areas from Paradise, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is an excellent place for hiking, mountain biking, and rock climbing. It's spread out over nearly 200,000 acres of Mojave Desert and features a visitor center and a seasonal campground that accommodates tent campers and RVs alike. Dispersed camping at higher elevations is also allowed.
Death Valley
Spread out over more than 3 million acres, Death Valley National Park is known as one of the hottest places on the planet. It's a fantastic spot for stargazing, rock climbing, and hiking, and if you come in the spring, you might even spot wildflowers. Opt for a spring or fall visit if you want to camp as summer temperatures in the park can be brutal.
Lake Mead National Recreation Area
If you're looking for a spot to beat the hot Nevada heat, Lake Mead National Recreation Area just might fit the bill. Along with two lakes (Mead and Mojave), this 1.5 million-acre park has nearly 1,000 campsites. If you come in the winter, when it's too cold to swim, you can still take advantage of the park's expansive network of hiking and biking trails.
When to go
Paradise gets plenty of travelers throughout the year, but you've got to love the heat if you come during the summer, when daytime temperatures often exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. If you plan to spend a lot of time in the great outdoors, come in spring or fall, when the weather is still warm without being stifling. Winter is also a good option, but be prepared to bundle up if you’re camping in the desert, as it can get quite chilly.
