McCullough Hills Trailhead serves as the main access point for the McCullough Range, offering several loop options through classic Mojave terrain. The parking area accommodates about 20 vehicles with vault toilets and trail maps, but no water. Popular routes include the McCullough Hills Trail and connections to higher peaks with sweeping views of Las Vegas Valley.
Access via paved McCullough Hills Parkway from Henderson makes this easily reachable for any vehicle. Trails range from easy desert walks to serious scrambles up ridgelines. Gets busy on weekends, especially during cooler months when the desert hiking is prime.
