(4K) Red Rock Canyon Scenic Loop. Includes Scenic Overlooks!
The red rock canyon scenic drive is a 13 mile scenic loop road that is inside the Red Rock National Conservation area. There is a fee to enter, unless you have a national park pass. The loop can be hiked, biked, or driven easily, since most of the terrain is either flat or rolling hills.
The canyon is formed mostly from sandstone which rises over 8,000′ in elevation, with spectacular red colored cliffs that rise up to 3,000′. Red rock canyon is just a few miles west of Las Vegas, which makes it an easy morning or afternoon trip.
