The views are awesome, the one way road around the park is a great idea, so you don't feel rushed. If you're going slow, people have room to pass. There are plenty of places to pull over and admire the scenery. There are ample bathroom facilities. I wish all national parks were like this. OK, technically it's not a national... more

If you go to Vegas, you have to go to Red Rock Canyon!!! It is absolutely beautiful!!! There are bus trips from Vegas, but our flight didn't leave till 11:30 PM, so we rented a car from Enterprise after we checked out of our hotel and drove there. It seemed to be less than a half an hour from Vegas,... more

If you are in Vegas it is a short drive to RRC. There is a $5.00 admission fee. You drive around a 13 mile loop and see the scenery. There are parking areas along the way with trails to hike. Some are long and difficult, but the paper you get at the gate tells you this. It's worth seeing once.... more

Beautiful views, a good day of fresh air and nature away from the strip. Neil, the Hike This guide is knowledgeable, prepare, easy-going and pleasant. The hike itself is gorgeous. more

My wife and I planned a 5 day trip to Vegas and I knew that we would need a break from the strip along the way. After doing some research, we booked a hiking trip with Neil from Hike This and it turned out to be a highlight of our trip. The hike was a challenge for us, but with... more

We rented a car for the afternoon - $60 - and made the 30 minute drive to Red Rock Canyon. It's $5 to get onto the 13 mile scenic drive - very very nice. You could hike if you wanted, several trails ranging from easy to "OMG" hard but if you never left the car you would still be happy... more

Sorry, couldn't help myself. After spending a week inside Vegas with all the other computer hackers and geeks, my wife and I spent a couple hours unwinding on a very winding drive trough the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. We got to the entrance gate at about 6pm, paid our $5 and head in. Ok, the colors and beauty... more

Totally awesome, the drive thru only 5.00 for a carload. Beautiful and very much worth it. The drive contained at least 12 or more stopping points for hiking and photos. more
