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... More

This area is so beautiful, well worth a visit as it takes you away from the hectic pace in Vegas and takes you close to nature. Wear sturdy footwear to be able to get the most out of your visit and don't forget your camera!

The guide was interesting and informative not just about the canyon but also about Las Vegas in general. Food provided for lunch and bottles of water during the trip. A pleasant break from the Strip to the silence of the desert

I've been to Las Vegas dozens of times, but only went here last year. It really is wonderful. The colours and strange pattens on the rocks are stunning. It is a shame the drive through only covers a fraction of the canyon, but any longer it would no doubt be spoiled.

We drove through this area and wow how beautiful. There are some trails but we didn't attempt them. To me they just seemed not something we were interested in doing. We are not big hikers and had done many hikes in Zion and Bryce. Cost $7 to drive thru this area but the money is worth the beauty. Check out... More

Beautiful is the only word to describe Red Rock Canyon. I have been there several times and the time before was January this year, yet I always see something I don't remember from the past. Really a treasure in the desert.

What an impressive place and so close to LV strip. Be sure to spend the day either hiking or driving around and make sure you have plenty of water.

This place took my breath away. We had a lovely breakfast and pulled out a map to see just how far we'd be driving to Red Rock and the waitress said, "Oh, it's about 30 minutes straight down the road". And she was right. It was literally a short ride out of town. We drove the loop through, which is... More

If you ever take a trip to fabulous Las Vegas - do yourself a favor and rent a car and go to this park. It is simply majestic and beautiful. There is a visitors center near the entrance that'll give you the skinny on the rock formations and exhibits and such. What lies next is the most beautiful thirteen mile... More

This tour was really good if you want a bit of history and good photos. I have to say it was the tour guide that made this trip! He is worth every penny. I toured with the pink jeep company
