A true glory to behold. Just standing there makes you realize how small we truly are. Theres plenty of trails that we shouldve prepared for. We will next time. A must see when in Vegas.

This place was so awesome! The way the rocks just change color, the way things just lay out in front of you! The paintings and carvings on the wall were amazing to see as well. It really makes you feel small. I wish everyone had the chance to see this place. I will be going back again. Its beautiful. All the little animals we saw. Lol the white chipmunk, the Jack rabbit, and the best.... The little road runners. My wife loved it.

What a great place to drive too. It was close to the strip and amazing views. I will never forget it! It does get very hot out there so we will bring a lot more water next time!

Breathtaking. I loved being away from the city and in the Canyon. I advise everyone to take a visit out there to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

The Overlook allows you to see a sweeping view of the area. Its actually gorgeous. But to me, the main attraction is the motorcycles that congregate there. Bikes of all makes and models are often on display there and in one sense, its a display as invigorating as the expansive landscape itself.

Red Rock Canyon has an amazing view. If you like hiliking it offers hiking trails. Plenty of wildlife to see. The picnic area was very clean and wasnt crowded. A very relaxing experience.

Beautiful place to visit when traveling thru Las Vegas, only about 25 minutes from downtown. To enter the park reservations must be made ahead of time. Bring a sweater can get a bit chilly during fall winter months.

Take a break from the tables and go see Redrock Canyon! If you like to hike, go early to veat the heat. Take a couple quarts of water and gave snacks in the car. Beautiful area and only minutes from the city.

Close to Las Vegas. Well maintained national reservation park. If you have national park annual pass, they will let you in for free. About 14 to 16 mile drive to enjoy the view and many view points.

Review №23

The scenery is absolutely incredible. The loop around takes you to view points where you can park and take pictures and take in the views. There are trials off the road that take you closer to the nature and offer some stunning photo opportunities. Youd be remiss if you didnt go around while you were here!

Very serene beautiful place. About 30 minute drive outside main Las Vegas strip. They have parking area and restrooms. Offers a beautiful view of the natural setting.

Review №27

Beautiful and serene during sunset. Wish it wasnt hazy the time I visited, I could have probably seen the colors of the sky a bit better. There is a parking lot where you can comfortably sit and watch the sun setting over the canyon. There are restrooms on site. This location was nice to experience once but would probably not come back here again.

Rode my bike out here on a Tuesday. People seemed to respect the bike lane. The space is wide open and everyone there seemed to be practicing social distancing with room to spare. Would worry about this place on weekends.

Great bike rides around the loop. Take plenty of water :-)

Review №37

Just 20 min north of the Vegas strip lies amazing geology, hiking trails, and Instagramable shots everywhere you turn. $15 entry fee as its BLM land or use your America the Beautiful pass to enter for free. These are not really handicap accessible type trails here. You do have to be careful because a fall could get you hurt. But everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves scrambling on the rocks and even the bad weather doesnt slow the amount of people coming in. Plan about 2 to 4 hours here if want to get your shoes dusty.

My absolute favorite place to go when I just want to enjoy the sights and weather of Redrock. You can even take little adventure walks down to the flash flood area, of course when its dry not raining. We just so happen to have gone this past time while it started snowing.

Very cool and easy site to get to. It’s free and has a decent amount of parking. There are bathrooms here as well. You can come and picnic here and even go hike around. Very good views at anytime of the year. Even a nice place to go at night. Winter time is amazing when it snows in the area. Bonnie springs is also very close to here too. The red rock loop also exits right next to here.

Review №51

Perfect space to view the Red Rock area without having to make a big commitment. There’s usually very few people there, plenty of parking. There’s a very short walk (.25 miles) with two benches along the way to sit and enjoy.

This is my favorite spot at Red Rock Canyon. You can get a beautiful view of the entire park without having to pay the rising entrance fee. There is a nice little paved trail that goes towards the east, next to the helicopter pad. It has a few benches along the way to sit and enjoy the view.

Always I get inspired every time I go to Redrockcanyon!, Either for hiking or walk around the trails you forget about everything and it keep you motivated!

Review №65

This overlook offers a breath taking view of the backside of Red Rock Canyon. Its a pull off area past the main park entrance further West on Charleston Road. This is one of those sights that really makes you feel so small with the vast landscape and beautiful natural rock and sand colors. I highly recommend stopping here and snapping a few shots alone or with your loved ones or friends! Theres also a free hiking area that offers beginer to advance hiking terrain. The turn off is just West of the pay area and East of this overlook... Happy hunting!
