Late Night Trailhead

Located on the west edge of the Las Vegas Valley, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area offers breathtaking scenery with its red and white sandstone cliffs and foothills of the Spring Mountains. The area is known for its narrow canyons, creeks, and waterfalls, providing a refreshing escape from the summer heat and delightful full-sun hikes during winter. While the Scenic Loop Road area is popular among locals, vast protected areas outside the loop offer opportunities for nature and recreation.

Visitors can start their exploration at the Visitor Center, where they can learn about the area before embarking on a scenic drive along the 12-mile, one-way Scenic Loop Road. The road provides access to various overlooks, hiking areas, bird watching spots, and picnic areas, including trailheads such as Calico Hills, Sandstone Quarry, and Icebox Canyon. To ensure a smooth visit, Red Rock Canyon has implemented a Timed Entry reservation system during peak times, allowing visitors to plan their trip accordingly. Entrance fees apply for access to the Scenic Loop Road area, while other areas off the loop are free to explore.
