Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area Reviews

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is ranked #9 out of 29 things to do in Las Vegas. See pictures and our review of Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
Located about 17 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip, the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area offers travelers a respite from downtown Las Vegas' unnatural neon landscape. Though you can opt to follow the 13-mile scenic car route through the desert, make the most of your visit by stretching your legs along the numerous hiking and biking trails that dot the one-way route. No matter how you choose to explore the 195,819-acre area, you'll find yourself surrounded by the beautiful Mojave Desert and its signature red hills. According to previous Red Rock Canyon visitors, a trip here is well worth leaving the casino floor behind. Recent travelers recommended getting out of your car to explore, but suggest you plan hikes or biking excursions during the cooler mornings rather than the sweltering afternoons. Reviewers also say the road is well-maintained and appreciate the abundance of restrooms along the way. Travelers also suggest stopping by the visitor center to peruse the informative exhibits. If you don't want to venture out on your own, several of the best Las Vegas tours offer excursions to the area that conveniently depart from the Strip. Last, but certainly not least, slather on sunscreen, bring a hat and pack plenty of water. The scenic drive is open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily from April to September. The visitor center is open daily from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. If you're driving to Red Rock Canyon, you will have to pay a $20 vehicle entrance fee; motorcyclists pay $10; bicyclists pay $8; and pedestrians are charged $5. Note that timed reservations are required for accessing the scenic drive from Oct. 1 through May 31 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit the Recreation.gov site for more information. The speed limit along the scenic drive is 35 mph. If you'd like to stay overnight, you can set up a tent in the sole campground here.
