Red Rock Canyon Recreation Lands:
Our early-morning visit in May 2026.
Red Rock Canyon is in Clark County, Nevada, just 17 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip.
The drive through the park is on a 13-mile one-way asphalt road that stretches from the entrance to the exit.
No U-turns allowed.
To avoid overcrowding, reservations are required.
Looking west, I see the morning light reflected in the valley beyond, and it will remain in my brain.
The person in the lower right walks on a path for a close-up view of the rocks.
The one-way paved loop is 13 miles long. There are 12 parking areas where you can park your car and take a hike. Can you see the white dot of a car parked at the end of this road?
Passengers will be taking plenty of snapshots of the red rocks as they ride along.
See my hands in the passenger's mirror at the lower left of this picture?
Can you see the rustic path starting in the lower left of the picture that leads to the red rocks in the distance?
