Lime Kiln Canyon

Leaving civilization just outside Mesquite, Nevada, Lime Kiln Canyon is a scenic, rough, and rugged gateway into the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument. This trail leads into a very remote desert and canyon landscape that ascends steep, narrow paths flanked by towering sandstone cliffs and juniper-dotted plateaus. Lime Kiln Canyon is known for its dramatic geology, with layered rock formations and vivid colors reflecting the interplay of erosion and time. The area provides abundant outdoor recreation opportunities and is popular with all types of users, from off-roading to camping to rock climbing. This trail is remote, with no nearby services, so preparation is essential, but it rewards visitors with unparalleled access to the Arizona Strip and the Parashant's untouched wilderness, a haven for solitude and natural beauty.
