Red Rock Canyon is a narrow valley that lies just about 15 miles west of
downtown Las Vegas and is one of the most scenic places to visit in Southern
Nevada. 'Red Rock' as it is known to the people who actually live in Las
Vegas, is so called because of the striking red colored sandstone formations
found throughout this small valley. A one-way loop road, 13 miles (21 km)
long, provides vehicle access to many of the features in the canyon. Several
side roads and parking areas allow access to many of the trails located in
the canyon. A visitor center is located at the start of the loop road. |
