- Kirsten CoxApril 26, 2018Calico hills is a good one for a short walk with some options for climbing. Calico tanks is longer but sooo worth it. Lost Creek is a gorgeous, super short hike with a waterfall at the end.Upvoted Apr 11
- Louise SutherlandNovember 8, 2014Stunning. Great introductory outdoor museum & lots of great stop off points for photo taking. It gets busy at weekends when sky is clear or interesting. Well worth the short trip to visit!Upvoted Apr 21
- Only 7 dollars to go. Extremely worth it. The only time I've seen it crowded was on President Day weekend when admission was free. Breath taking view of the mountains.
- Andrew CJune 4, 2018Phenomenal national park only 30 minutes off the Strip... $15 entry per car is well worth it to drive along the scenic drive and pop off to hike various trails or just take pictures!!!
- The Vision CouncilMay 29, 2014If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, this is a must see! Bring the kids for a family adventure - BUT don’t let the sun hinder your views. Wear your sunglasses to protect your eyes from the harmful UV.
- Katie WhalonNovember 7, 2018There are plenty of trails you can wander down, but if you want to tour from you car, take the Scenic Route for $15. You can stop along the way. The "overlook" just past the entrance is free!

- The Resort at SummerlinJuly 24, 2012A great way to experience "the other side" of Nevada. Be sure to get out and hike at least one trail to take in the diverse array of plants and animals.
- it's beautiful and has many trails of different levels of difficulty to use.
- Abdulrhman KhojaDecember 23, 2015Goog place for hiking and mountains climbing, but you gotta go from early morning to spend the whole day there walking. If you have 4*4 car it will be better 👍
- Sandy LeungNovember 29, 2012A must see in Vegas - beautiful scenery, hiking trails, springs, a great getaway if you need a break from casinos. Also learn about the history and geology of Vegas here :)
- HollyFebruary 17, 2015Great spot for getting away from the strip, very close by and easy to get to. Lots of hiking, beautiful.
- Kevin SkobacFebruary 24, 2015Beautiful red rock hiking trails and rock scrambling just :30 from Las Vegas. A highly recommended breath of fresh air after a night on the strip.
- Erika L.October 16, 2014Go into the visiting center to see the taxidermy, and cave paintings. Plus: do the scenic drive before 9 AM.Don't do anything dumb like jump on the edge of a cliff just for a cool photo.
- Amanda LeeFebruary 29, 2016It's beautiful here and $7 to drive through. But everyone is going at least 30mph making it tough to enjoy the view. VERY crowded. Spend a few hrs and drive to Zion National Park instead!
- Alyssa CatozziFebruary 27, 2014Beautiful scenery & great hiking trails, one for everyone, no matter level of experience. Nice escape from Las Vegas. Hidden waterfalls & picnic spots are my favorite.
- Lanette RiveraNovember 18, 2013Just a short drive away from the crazy Las Vegas strip you can find the beautiful Red Rock Canyon National Park. If your trying to get away from the usual Vegas scene you can hike and bike.
- Otel.comJanuary 4, 2012Visited by nearly a million people every year, this place has great sandstone peaks and rock formations that will surely leave you in awe. A day trip from the Strip will only take about 25-30 minutes.
- Sarah BrittinJune 28, 2013There is nothing better than hiking here while you are in Vegas. Schedule a trip online with Hike This and Neil will show you all the coolest sites. Simply amazing!
- Robert AcostaApril 8, 2014Get there early and spend the day exploring. Lots of great areas to explore. Also there are some great geocaches in the park! Look out for muggles though!
- Donise CameronFebruary 19, 2014Amazing vistas and love you can drive through And stop where you want. Best seven dollars even my toddler love it
- David SchwartzJune 28, 2013Wonderful hiking and natural beauty, just a short drive from the Las Vegas Strip.
- Wayne LathamFebruary 15, 2015Nice trails and great for dogs. Download an offline map app beforehand. No cell or data service. Go early to beat the heat.
- Anna SebournJune 28, 2012A beautiful drive, but also great to get out and explore on foot or bikes. It feels like a mesh of Sedona, AZ and LV. Very picturesque, as we saw two different couples taking engagement photos there!
- Erin SkinnerMay 31, 2013Gorgeous! Take the time to hike into the wilderness a bit, as this place is beautiful, the other hikers are friendly, and I've never seen anything like this.

- Neha DubeyDecember 28, 2014This was more fun than I expected... On the scenic go on the first hike trail, its worth it!
- Ron JeramiahJanuary 25, 2016Great place for a beautiful hike! Must do in Vegas and to get off the strip!
- The Ritz-CarltonOctober 10, 2011Only accessible via an off-road route, Red Rock Canyon features some of Nevada’s most dynamic and eclectic scenery. Keep an eye out for desert tortoises, and the very common desert bighorn sheep
- Marchell MascheckApril 29, 2016Just beautiful! Even the short trails can be challenging. Go after some Spring rain and see even more color!
- FLIPMarch 20, 2013Great place for hiking and climbing. Gorgeous rock formations. Sunset is stunning time of day in the park.
- RedRockPacoJune 30, 2012Best hike is calico tanks. Hardest hike is turtle head peak. Both start at the same parking lot. One of my favorite places on the planet.
- David CollacottJanuary 2, 2014Great place to hike if you don't mind getting a few scratches from climbing up rocks.
- Charles TannerApril 20, 2015Great place for casual hikers. Great views. Get away from the strip for awhile if you can
- Jen AJanuary 24, 2014Not too far so a few hours makes a nice Las Vegas detour. $7 for the scenic drive is decent, great hiking and photo ops!
- Zappos.comMay 5, 2011If you are packing a day pack, here are some essentials: Good socks, water, snacks, duct tape (trust us!), headlamp and a pair of sandals. Enjoy the area and remember to leave no trace!
- Pili FualaauMay 14, 2015The 13 mile scenic view is beautiful, went on an a day of overcast & it was near perfect
- The Ritz-CarltonOctober 10, 2011Did you know that the highest point in Red Rock Canyon is La Madre Mountain? At over 8,000 feet, it is a popular climbing and hiking destination for enthusiasts.
- Gigi Hill Independent Stylist - Lea GreeneApril 28, 2012Fantastic outdoor hiking. You can see waterfalls in Spring, but start very early in the summer, elevation isn't high enough to escape Vegas heat!
- Different trails at different times of year are great. Something for everyone's pace.
- Jason LippertMay 3, 2014Enjoyed the first 2-3 overlooks with the red rocks the most. Looks like a nice place for hiking.
