Red Rock Canyon was a little family day trip as we were in Las Vegas for my oldest son’e wedding. outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
Red Rocks Canyon, a desert oasis near Las Vegas, Nevada, enchants with its crimson cliffs and rugged beauty. Carved by the forces of nature over millennia, it’s a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Hikers traverse its trails, discovering hidden wonders like ancient petroglyphs and diverse wildlife. Rock climbers test their skills on the sheer sandstone walls, while photographers capture the breathtaking vistas. As the sun sets, the canyon’s hues intensify, casting a mesmerizing glow over the landscape. Red Rocks Canyon isn’t just a destination; it’s an experience, inviting all who visit to marvel at its splendor and find solace in its timeless grandeur.

We hiked a short trail in the park and were rewarded with a little desert waterfall.
