Reserve Scenic Drive entry when required and allow time to return before racing. [Plan this experience]() [Explore the story]() Cost **Ticketed** Time to allow **Allow a half-day for the drive and stops** Place **Las Vegas, Nevada** 01 / The experience ### Choose a scenic drive or a walking day. Red Rock Canyon gives you a desert outing that can be shaped around scenery rather than speed. The paved, one-way Scenic Drive runs for 13 miles past sandstone formations, with pull-outs and trailheads along the route. Choose a drive with a few stops or give a named walking route its own time. The visitor centre is a useful first stop. Its indoor and outdoor exhibits explain the Mojave through earth, air, fire and water, with geology and desert wildlife among the themes. The facilities offer a more accessible way to engage with the landscape than assuming every trail is suitable. For a luxury trip, a dedicated driver can keep the return straightforward, but a commercial tour has its own permissions and admission arrangements. Keep this as a daylight outing. Adding an ambitious hike changes the duration and preparation completely. ![Red Rock Canyon NCA, Las Vegas]() Day Trips & Desert Escapes **Red Rock Canyon NCA** Las Vegas In pictures ### The full gallery. 02 / The essentials ### Red Rock Canyon NCA: visit essentials 1. 01 Allow a half-day for the drive and stops; longer for a substantial hike 2. 02 Timed-entry reservation and entry fee are separate requirements.
