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!

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…
