Presentazione generale

Red Rock Canyon

Red falsies, panoramic road and trails west of Las Vegas.

The discovery of Red Rock Canyon is centred around Red Rock Canyon, Calico Hills and Ice Box Canyon. The stay thus alternates between desert areas, mountain reliefs and natural areas, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

Vedi tutto

For a stay of 1 to 3 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Nature and panorama

Red Rock Canyon

4,7 / 5· HidengoDa 30 min a 1 h 30

A few kilometres from Las Vegas, Red Rock Canyon contrasts the neon of the city with red sandstone cliffs, stried walls and desert lavis. The panoramic road, short trails and climbing areas provide access to a clear, mineral landscape, particularly beautiful in the morning or late-day low light.

Calico Hills

4,6 / 5· HidengoDa 1 a 2 h

The Calico Hills form a long wave of red, pink and cream sandstone, visible from the panoramic Red Rock Canyon road. Between rounded blocks, small gullies and sun-heated slabs, the place is as suitable for a short walk as for a careful observation of the changing colors of the rock.

Nature and panorama

Ice Box Canyon

4,5 / 5· HidengoDa 30 min a 1 h 30

Ice Box Canyon slice with burning slopes of Red Rock Canyon The trail climbs up a rocky bed punctuated with boulders, junipers and, after the rains or spring, water fillets that make the bottom of the canyon more alive.
