| 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. |
