Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area are a series of canyons noted for their sandstone peaks and steep rock walls. The rugged rock formations rise up to 910 m (3,000 ft), making them a popular hiking and rock-climbing destination. You can explore most of this area via the 21 km (13 mi) one-way loop road, from which you can access numerous parking areas, picnic zones, and hiking and mountain-biking trails. Begin with a stop at the visitor center at the start of the loop road. Keep in mind that the trails usually start with an easy to moderate climb and become increasingly difficult as you progress to the top.

Put simply, this was the best place we saw when visiting Las Vegas. Less than 30 mins off the Strip and seems a world away!! Well set up and regular toilets around and lovely places to walk to, and...

I had a phenomenal time at Red Rock Canyon. I've never seen scenery like this and this was a great introduction to it. We did several hikes but enjoyed the Calico Hills and Calico Tanks hikes the most. The Calico Tanks hike was definitely moderate level and all of the light scrambling made it engaging and enjoyable. The payout at the top of the hike is incredible as well. You get a beautiful panoramic view of Red Rock Canyon and the valley. The view of the Strip from this angle was well worth the challenging hike. The scenic drive around the canyon was beyond enjoyable and this was a day well spent and a great escape from the Strip.

It’s a breathtaking scenic drive, surrounded by mountains. It’s so calm and serene. The scenic drive is a must , if you are interested to overcome, mini roller coaster. The drive has lots of loops and bends. But it’s definitely awesome and with lots of pits stops, to take many pictures. Just saw one red rock canyon. Take a drive during sunset 🌅. It’s just wow!! ❤️The ride is definitely romantic, if you are a lover of nature..!😍
