Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is located in the Clark County, Nevada. Stationed just a few miles west of Las Vegas in the Mojave Desert, the Red Rock Canyon National park envelops 195,819 acres of worldwide geologic beauty.

Red Rock Canyon is a 20 minutes drive from the Las Vegas strip. In fall of 2020 it would cost around $2 to reserve entry, due to COVID-19 policy changes for admission to the park, in addition to the typical park entry fees. Day use fees can range from as low as $5 for a pedestrian or bicyclist to $15 for an automobile vehicle. There are annual pass options you can explore on their website as well but those can run as much as $80. Prior to COVID-19 visitors can stay as long as they like.

Thinking of exploring the well known "scenic loop?" It offers travelers with plentiful options to stop and take stunning photos of the gorgeous scenery. There are also various stopping stops to get out and take a brief hike or two. Remember the loop is ONE-WAY only so take advantage of stops unless you are prepared to make the approximate 30 minute loop again to catch something you might have missed.

The wide range of picturesque landscaping can be breathtaking to come prepared. This natural beauty is a grounding experience from the lights and glamor of the Las Vegas Strip. Stretching mountain ranges, vast valley and smooth boulders amplified by the bright blue skies and sweeping clouds give the photographer in all of us the opportunity to work our talents with ease.

Prior to COVID times, most of the trails provided the social distancing many need after several days enjoying the hustle and bustle of the Las Vegas life on the Strip. For those who want to feel the air in their hair you can rent luxury convertibles or motorcycles to enjoy the open road.

CHANGES IN NOVEMBER 2020:

Beginning November 3rd, 2020 the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is implementing a “timed-entry system” to aid in controlling the flow of traffic into this National Conservation Park. We would be happy to arrange and schedule your visit to Red Rock Canyon on your next trip to Las Vegas, NV.
