Building Community Through Adventure
UNLV Mountain Club connects outdoor enthusiasts for unforgettable experiences in nature.
Our Story
Why We Exist
UNLV Mountain Club was founded in 2018 by a group of friends who believed that the outdoors are best experienced together. What started as informal weekend hikes has grown into a thriving community of over 2,000 members.
We exist to make outdoor adventure accessible, safe, and deeply communal. Our mission is simple: get more people outside, build lasting friendships, and foster a deep respect for the natural world.
Every trail we walk, every peak we summit, and every campfire we gather around strengthens our bond with nature and each other.
