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.
