Hiking Red Rock Canyon – Las Vegas, NV
// February 24th, 2010 // 4 Comments » // Photography, Travel, USA
A place that most people never get to see while visiting Sin City. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is a 45 min drive West of Las Vegas, NV. If you’re feeling adventurous and you’re sick of walking the strip, take a day trip out to Red Rock. I GUARANTEE that you’ll have a blast.
If you’re not into hiking, biking or rock climbing, that’s okay! Red Rock has a 13-mile scenic loop [map] that you can spend some time driving around. There are many pull off parking lots along the way, so if you see a particular area that you’d like to get out and see for yourself, you can do so.
I highly recommend scoping out some hikes before you make the trek out to Red Rock. Definitely plan ahead and don’t forget to bring lots of water!
Pull over and take a quick group photo in front of this cool sign!
Check out the view!

After hiking in the sun for about an hour or so, I needed some shade!
Look how RED this rock is? I love it.
What a rewarding end to our hike at Red Rock! You could see for miles…
One of my favorite photos from the hike… Amazing!
