This review is about my visit to the Red Rock Canyon visitor center on Thanksgiving Day 2019.
We came with a Chinese tour so there are maybe 40 of us. We arrived at the visitor center parking lot at around 12:10pm on Thanksgiving Day 11/28/2019 looking to use the restroom. There’re 2 restrooms: 1) an outdoor restroom without roof - see picture 2) restroom located inside the visitor center.
The lady worker refused to let us use the restroom inside, and she stood at the restroom entrance blocking people to go inside. I asked her what is the reason of not letting people use the restroom?

The rock formations here are unbelievable! I felt like I had traveled to another planet in the Star Trek universe.... The visitor center here was small but had some great information about the area.
There is also an outside pit toilet and inside toilet with running water when the visitor center is open. I didn't get to check out the camping sites but I think I may stay here in the...
Read moreAmazing place to visit and hike. Just be careful about how far up and off trail you go. Me and my friend went pretty high up and lost our trail up. It was pretty terrifying getting down another way. It was close to sunset, and we were getting nervous, but we did find a relatively easy path down that didn't involve much free hand rock climbing. Maybe some signs to discourage people from going off trail? Or clearly marked trails...
