Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area

Conveniently located 18 miles west of Las Vegas, the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area encompasses 197,000 acres of desert land.

The large red sandstone rock formations and wall of rock, known as the Keystone Thrust, are the park's prominent features.

Enjoy traveling along the 13-mile loop road to view the beautiful features native to the Mojave Desert surrounding the Las Vegas metro area.

The conservation area is home to variety of outdoor recreation and sight-seeing, and is even adjacent to Spring Mountain Ranch State Park and the Village of Blue Diamond.
