Hike the Callville Summit Trail

The Callville Summit is a steep, moderate hike to the summit.

NPS/A. Cattoir

The trailhead leaves from the dump station parking lot across from the Callville Bay campground. There is also a more direct route to the expansive view using a strenuous and steeper trail that leaves from trash collection area of the campground. From the summit, take in views looking over Callville Bay and Lake Mead. Other social trails lead down to the water and can be seen leading to even further hikes and enjoyment.

Remember heat kills, be summer-smart and opt to hike when temperatures are cooler.
