Red Rock Canyon By Tour Trekker Tour

Some of the best views in Southern Nevada lay just 15 miles west of downtown Las Vegas in Red Rock Canyon. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is only minutes from the Hotels on Las Vegas Blvd. Explore scenery so dramatic, that it’s often selected as the backdrop for movies and commercials. The north part of the Canyon is where you will find the Bureau of Land Management Scenic Drive and Visitor Center. A brief stop at the visitor center includes fascinating exhibits, a desert tortoise habitat, and gift shop.

Along this 13-mile scenic drive you’ll view the impressive Wilson Cliffs, part of the 65-million-year-old Keystone Thrust. Red colored sandstone inspired this area’s name and can be seen from almost anywhere in Las Vegas. Numerous geological features abound, including the fossilized sand dunes of the brilliantly colored Calico Hills.

A bonus to this tour is the off-road adventure up Rocky Gap road. Beautiful desert wildflowers, ancient Native American pictographs, and diverse vegetation make this tour one you’ll never forget. From the red sandstone of Red Rock Canyon that lights up with the sun to the wild life that roam freely to the cacti and yucca and other desert plant life, the pictures that you will take home will continue to remind of the beauty that is found in the deserts of Nevada.
