This place is a climbers paradise! So much to do and so much to climb! The sport and trad routes are super fun and the approaches aren’t bad at all. The shade is truly a god send when you’re climbing all day. Kraft has some killer bouldering routes as well. We stayed at the campsite literally 2 minutes away from the crag! Perfect place.
What a peaceful place to be! It's so exciting to hike and explore the Red Rock Canyon! We had such a great time. A local showed us some ancient writing on the mountain. We were also able to watch some mountain climbers do their thing! Take the whole family. You can choose where to hike and the sights are stunning regardless. It's also a blast to climb into the little caves and relax for a little while as you take in the beauty of your surroundings! Now, there's always a chance that you will run into a tarantula in one of those caves, but I didn't. Take the trip and enjoy a great time outdoors!
This place was incredible and very peaceful in the right spots. The most lovely colors in the rocks and biiig open sky, and so much history. We hiked several paths and sites along the scenic highway. We drove around quite a bit but the destinations were worth it.
First time exploring Red Rock Canyon, and it's beautiful. We went outside of the boardwalk and hiked up and down the hills, which wasn't too bad. I did borrow a hiking stick for about 5 minutes as it is definitely rocky and there are a lot of loose rocks. This was only one of the areas. I plan to explore more.

Bathrooms are available and were clean the day we went. Phone and text signal is spotty when inside the park.
All I have to say is all of Red Rock Canyon is one of the most beautiful places I have seen and experience. I come from south Texas so seeing red rock is a majestic masterpiece in its own right. We come out here once a week always new things to explore. New spots to find and wildlife. You hold something very special in my heart red rock canyon. Especially on my drives and I see your majestic beauty. Everyone should enjoy this serene place rather it be a small walk or a daring climb or an escape from the Vegas valley. I
Had a lovely afternoon trip with the family to the Canyon. Beautiful open space with stunning rock formations. Saw a little wild rabbit near the visitor center. Definitely fill up on water before the drive especially if you're hiking.
We were able to follow a hike into the Canyon. It was sad to see that someone vandalized the water hole but it was easy enough to ignore. So many tadpoles in there! Not too strenuous. Great place to go to get away from the Las Vegas chaos.
Beautiful place not far from Las Vegas. If you're visiting Vegas and got tired of the madness of casinos, restaurants, and shows, this place can provide a nice respite and is only 40m away from the strip (by car). There are also tours directly from Las Vegas for those who don't want to drive.

We went during the summer so hiking was off the menu. At least on the maps, the trails are well mapped and should be pleasant to hike during more moderate weather. I also heard they have E-bike tours which seems like an interesting option.

Even if you only have an hour or two, there's a one way loop around the park with very nice views. Many stops (but not all) have a restroom open to the public. Drive slowly and stop around to enjoy the views.

Entrance fee was $23 (as of July/2023) per car. The place is clean and well documented so I felt that the experience was more than worth the price charged.
Awesome views and really nice trails. It felt like we were on a private tour of the canyon. The 1-way road stretches all the way through the park, and it felt as if we paid for a private road. I recommend you go nice and slow. You almost feel like if you're back in time so much so that you can definitely shoot a jurassic Park scene here.
There's a 9/11 memorial on the park, pretty ko and interesting to see, you may miss it so be on the look out, it's on the side of the visitors center.
