Red Rock Canyon Map
2026 UPDATED
When you live in Vegas, Red Rock Canyon is the spot you take friends to prove there’s more than casinos here. Just 30 minutes from the Strip, it’s perfect for a quick escape into nature. We go often—sometimes just for the 13-mile scenic drive, sometimes for a full hike. It’s beautiful, close, and totally different from the neon lights.
