Hike & TrailLocal Favorite
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area
World-class canyon scenery 20 minutes from the Strip. Easy trails, dramatic geology, and desert wildlife.
Red Rock Canyon is the single best outdoor destination near Las Vegas. A 13-mile scenic loop delivers jaw-dropping views, and for families with older kids, the Calico Hills trails are spectacular.
Spring and fall are ideal seasons. The visitor center is excellent and free on its own.
Pro Tips
Buy the America the Beautiful Annual Pass ($80). Wildflowers peak in late March/early April.
Best Time to Visit
Spring (March–May) and Fall (October–November). Early morning in summer.
