Hidden Valley Trailhead is located at the north end of Hidden Valley (near Jean, NV), which is on the southwest edge of Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area (NCA) and the North McCullough Wilderness Area. Access to this trailhead requires a high-clearance vehicle.

From town, drive south on Interstate-15 to the Sloan exit. Exit the highway, turn east (left), and cross under the interstate to a T-intersection, which is Las Vegas Blvd. Turn right and drive south for 6.3 miles to a paved road to the left (Southern Nevada Liteweight Road; Site 1195). A sign reads: (Southern Nevada Liteweight; 8 miles to pit).

Turn left onto Southern Nevada Liteweight Road and drive east for 4.4 miles to a narrow dirt road on the left (Site 1197). The side road, Hidden Valley Road, is bordered on the east side by a wire fence. Turn left onto Hidden Valley Road and drive north to the trailhead.

At 5.10 miles out Hidden Valley Road, signs announce the border of Sloan Canyon NCA (Site 1204), and finally, at 5.9 miles out, the road ends (Site 1206) at the edge of the North McCullough Wilderness Area. Park here; this is the Hidden Valley Trailhead.

This trailhead provides access to the Poppy Guzzler Route (with access to Sloan Canyon Petroglyph Gallery), BLM 300 Trail, and myriad off-trail routes in the North McCullough Wilderness Area.
