The idea

A plan with room to wander.

Start with the Calico Hills, then let your experience, weather, and current access decide how ambitious the next day should be.

  1. 01

    Day 1

    Arrive and get oriented

    Settle in near Las Vegas, explore the Scenic Drive and Calico Hills, and choose an objective that suits your group.

  2. 02

    Day 2

    Climb the Calico Hills

    Give the day to a Calico climbing area. Pick routes by grade, approach, weather, and current access rather than a fixed checklist.

  3. 03

    Day 3

    Choose your second rock day

    Consider a canyon objective if your team has the skills and time, or keep it relaxed with a shorter Calico Basin outing.
