I've been to Las Vegas about a dozen times over the past ten years. This was the first time I had a car, which allowed us to venture beyond the usual places that are off the strip.
Red Rock Canyon is just north of Las Vegas, and is worth a visit if you have a car, a couple of hours,...

Grand Canyon West was good but this place is out of this world. Just a few minutes drive out of Vegas this desert canyon is what you need to bring you back to earth. after the glitz and glam of Sin City a few hours here will calm your soul and ground you. For a mere 7 bucks you can...

If you are looking to get away from the Vegas Strip for a time, head out to Red Rock Canyon! The visitor center is informative, the staff helpful. We parked at each of the trailheads and reviewed the landscape and information boards. We hiked a little of each trail, quite a bit of diversity here. Clean bathrooms at most trailheads....

It is a nice diversion of the strip to view the Red Rock Canyon area. I recommend going at least once and driving thru.

If you want to have a 1-day trip, don't go to Grand Canyon: these excursions are really expensive and aren't worth of it. This place is very closed to Las Vegas, but it's another world, quiet and wild.

If you need a break from the lights and fast pace, Red Rock is where you should go. It is breathtaking and a wonderful place to spend half the day. I plan to go back and check out Red Rock Casino as well, as it looked very nice

It is kind of under whelming. We visited it on our way to Death Valley National Park. It was a drive through type of attraction. It seemed to be a popular place to rock climb. Death Valley was amazing however. If you are going to rent a car and take a day to see the Red Rock Canyon, I would...

We always travel the 13 mile drive through Red Rock when we come to Las Vegas. There is always something different that we observe. We eapecially enjoy watching the burros.

We have been to Vegas many times and have taken a few tours. This self guided tour and hiking area is a terrific way to see another aspect of the area at your own speed. We spent 3 hours in the area and if we were better prepared to hike, we easily could have spent all day there.

Red Rock Canyon is well worth the short ride outside Las Vegas. The area is extraordinarily beautiful. Driving through it is wondrous - but take a moment to walk around in it for however long you can spare. If you have been there in the morning, plan to visit just before the sun goes down. The splendor there no matter...
