I’m about as casual as they come, occasionally taking a fun nature walk with the pup or kids. Let me just say, in no world am I anything but an amateur hiker.
Hiking Trails at Red Rock Canyon That I Explored It’s the kind of place that reminds you how small you are in the grand scheme of things. Wanting to beat the crowds, I arrived promptly at 8 am and was immediately taken aback by the size and expansiveness of the space. My receipt had a QR code which was scanned by an employee upon entering the park.
The cost for a car is $15, which I prepaid. I reserved my 8:00 am entry time on Red Rock Canyon’s visitor website about a week in advance. Within the conservation area is a 13-mile, 1-way scenic drive that has numerous hiking trails along the route, each with its own restrooms and parking lot. Whether you’re an avid hiker, want to breathe some fresh air, or have blown through your gambling budget, the conservation area could be an awesome distraction from the hustle and bustle nature of Sin City.įor those unfamiliar, Red Rock Canyon is a National Conservation Area that falls under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Only 20-minutes by car from the Strip, Red Rock Canyon makes for the perfect day trip while in Las Vegas.
