This was a great idea and such a contrast to the big city in the desert. Neil was great. He was ready for everything - I had a Aussie hat but he had extra hats and backpacks and snacks and even lip balm. He picked us up and helped decide what to do based on our experience (bouldering in Wisconsin).... more

I took a half day trip away from The Strip with the kids and really enjoyed the scenery. Well worth the $5 entry fee and an easy drive from the strip, 30-40 minutes. Impressive scenery, rock climbing and hiking. Pack a picnic lunch for your trip and explore several trails. We hiked the trail to Calico Tank, a naturally occurring... more

Awesome place to get away from the traffic and crowds of the casino's. You can hike the rocks. Beautiful 13 mile one-way road around the rocks. $5 / car well worth it. A short drive outside Vegas off hwy 159 (Charleston Blvd). To get around fast in Vegas, use the Interstates. more

Lets just say that if there was six stars i would pick it. The views were so amazing i cant even describe it. WEAR hiking boots!!!!!! This is an amazing place to bring children. Some of the Mountains can be climbed. I did quite a lot of balancing on rock formations. Young adults will apreciate the views. Go to the... more

Very easy trip (15 minutes) from Las Vegas. The visitors center was informative and there are many great trails for an easy hike. The loop road was a great way to see it all. Look for the climbers... they're so small and not easy to spot. Take the time to hike down some the easy trails. more

If you enjoy nature, hikes and scenery, then take a trip out to Red Rock Canyon and enjoy the 13 mile loop drive. There are plenty of stopping points along the way with several miles of hiking trails. We went in early December, the temperature was only in the 40's due to the elevation, but had a great time. Red... more

It was a nice 1/2 day outing out of the City. The trails we went on were OK but they were not very well marked. more

Rented a car from Dollar at the MGM and visited Red Rock Canyon. I would recommend renting in advance-- we got a red Dodge Nitro SUV for $37.99 for one day, using a promo code on the Dollar website. Walk-up customers that day were being charged $98 per day for a compact car. I also signed up for the Dollar... more
