Red rock canyon national conservation area — Attraction in Summerlin South

Absolutely Stunning and Worth Every Penny!

Red Rock Canyon is hands down one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever visited! The $22 entrance fee was totally worth it — I easily spent 5–6 hours exploring, and honestly could’ve stayed even longer. The scenery is unreal — red rocks glowing in the sunlight, unique formations everywhere you look, and endless photo-worthy views.

What I loved most was the freedom to choose your own pace. The courses and trails were super approachable — easy enough to enjoy without being exhausting, but still adventurous if you want to climb, bike, hike, or even run. You can really do whatever you want out there: explore the rock formations, have a picnic, relax, and soak in nature’s beauty.

There are spots where you can sit and eat while taking in the incredible views, and the sunset there is magical — the whole landscape turns deep orange and pink. It’s such a peaceful and grounding place, perfect for nature lovers or anyone needing a break from the city.

Whether you’re solo, with friends, or family, Red Rock Canyon is a must-see. Go early to make the most of the day, bring water and snacks, and don’t forget your camera — every moment here feels like a postcard! 🌄

There’s a Gift shop, visitors center for help or questions and bathrooms at each trail- ranging from easy...

We recently went to Red Rock Canyon and I cannot count all the times we have been. I do know this was our 34th time to Vegas so Red Rock Canyon has to rank in the high 20's of times we have been here. If you want to be close to paradise and away from the maddening crowds and noise of Vegas this is the place to go. The visitors center is the first chapter to the wonderful, lasting, memories you will be making. Here you will obtain all the information about the area from an infomation booth, litiature to read, and they also have talks throughout the day from learning about different animals who make this area their home, how the parķ was made, and much, much more. A walking area at the visitors center allows you to see tortoises in their natural habitat as well. The 13 mile loop you drive around the area will litterly take your breath away. There is a million photo ops throughout the area. Seeing burros, big horn sheep, tortoises, and different bird species is another plus. My husband, grown daughter and myself feel very blessed we have had so many opportunities to see this beautiful National...

I spent a Sunday afternoon at Red Rock Canyon and it was absolutely worth it. The drive out from Las Vegas was quick, but once you get there, it feels like a completely different world. The scenic loop is beautiful with several pull-offs where I stopped to take photos and just take it all in.

The red sandstone formations are incredible in person, especially when the light hits during sunset because the colors literally glow. I did a couple of short hikes and the trails were well-marked and clean, with options for both casual walkers and more experienced hikers.

It’s peaceful, not too crowded, and the views are unreal. Definitely bring plenty of water, comfortable shoes, and sun protection because it gets hot fast. I’ll definitely be back next time...
