Itinerary

Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center

Passing by

Welcome to Red Rock Canyon! This dazzlingly colorful landscape serves as a window into the earth’s geologic past and human history in the Americas.

New, Lifetime access, no expiry. Use it anytime, on any trip, as many times as you want.
Calico Hills

Passing by

Today the Calico Hills are mounds of hard, red rock, but they looked completely different 180 million years ago. Back then, you’d instead find a huge field of shifting sand dunes.
Stop 3

Passing by

Up ahead is Sandstone Quarry Overlook, where miners used to harvest sandstone!
Stop 4

10 min

The Calico Basin Trail is a fairly easy 1.5 mile out-and-back trail that will show you some new angles of the Calico Hills, but it mostly serves as a connecting route to other longer trails.
Stop 5

Passing by

Need a break from the heat? The Ice Box Canyon Trail is just ahead. After a 15-minute walk through the desert, we’ll find ourselves flanked by cliff walls that create a whole new biome.
Stop 6

Passing by

This spot is particularly popular among bird-watchers, as many of the over 100 species of birds in Red Rock can be seen from this open, unobstructed view.
High Point Overlook

Passing by

Up ahead is High Point Overlook, the highest point we’ll see on our tour at 4,780 feet above sea level!
Red Rock Canyon Overlook

Passing by

Red Rock Canyon Overlook is just ahead. This overlook offers amazing panoramic views, so get your camera ready!
Stop 9

Passing by

If you’re visiting Red Rock Canyon during the wetter months of April-December, you might be enticed to venturing into Lost Creek Canyon!
Stop 10

Passing by

This easy trail offers a nice walk and a peek into history at the same time. The 2.4 mile, 2-hour out-and back trail leads to the entrance of Pine Creek Canyon.
Stop 11

Passing by

If you really enjoy the aerial views, and want to see Red Rock Canyon like the soaring raptors do, Turtlehead Mountain is a must.
