Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area

Forged under a deep ocean, the rocks of Red Rock Canyon in the Mojave Desert, Nevada, were created by an abundance of rich marine life flourishing and finally depositing shells and skeletons more than 9,000 feet thick. This is just the beginning of the story of how Red Rock Canyon came to be.

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area lies in the Mojave Desert just west of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Nevada's first National Conservation Area protects almost 200,000 acres of sandstone cliffs, Limestone Mountains and open desert. A 13 mile long scenic drive offers visitors stunning vistas and over 30 miles of hiking trails. The Conservation Area also includes world class rock climbing, as well as mountain bike and horseback trails.
