5 Perfect Outdoor Activities for Valentine's Day

Outdoor Valentine's Day adventure in Nevada

Valentine’s Day is a special day to spend time with the ones you love. These outdoor activities offer unique plans for couples, friends, or solo adventurers to explore and enjoy nature.

1. A Kayak Tour

Kayaking through Hoover Dam, Emerald Cove, or Lake Mead is a unique and exciting outing. Paddling scenic waterways lets you get close to wildlife and scenery while working together.

2. Going on a Hike

Nevada’s breathtaking trails take you away from the city. A hike to Goldstrike Hot Spring can be a rewarding adventure with an opportunity to unwind.

3. Camping

Choose a spot such as Valley of Fire or Cathedral Gorge State Park for fresh air, natural beauty, a picnic, stargazing, and meaningful time together.

4. Biking

From Bootleg Canyon mountain biking to a simple downtown ride, cycling is a great way to explore outdoors together.

5. Skiing or Snowboarding

Lee Canyon is a great Nevada destination for an adventurous Valentine’s Day date on the snow.
