Located just outside Las Vegas, inside the Lake Mead National Recreation area, Fortification Hill attracts serious hikers looking to conquer the 6-mile (10-kilometer) round-trip trail to the top, where they’re rewarded with panoramic views of the lake and Hoover Dam. The mesa was formed millions of years ago by volcanic magma and basalt. The top has since eroded to reveal its light-colored granitic core.
