Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area are a series of canyons noted for their sandstone peaks and steep rock walls. The rugged rock formations rise up to 910 m (3,000 ft), making them a popular hiking and rock-climbing destination. You can explore most of this area via the 21 km (13 mi) one-way loop road, from which you can access numerous parking areas, picnic zones, and hiking and mountain-biking trails. Begin with a stop at the visitor center at the start of the loop road. Keep in mind that the trails usually start with an easy to moderate climb and become increasingly difficult as you progress to the top.

We drove the loop and stopped for many photo opportunities. A beautiful place and a very informative visitor center. Worth the visit for the whole family.

It’s a breathtaking scenic drive, surrounded by mountains. It’s so calm and serene. The scenic drive is a must , if you are interested to overcome, mini roller coaster. The drive has lots of loops and bends. But it’s definitely awesome and with lots of pits stops, to take many pictures. Just saw one red rock canyon. Take a drive during sunset 🌅. It’s just wow!! ❤️The ride is definitely romantic, if you are a lover of nature..!😍

Epic! Exceptional!! I was COMPLETELY ENTHRALLED by the display of nature and rolling, picturesque viewpoints. You get a good sense that it's a sacred expanse. It is well-worth the price of the ticket driving through. We stopped to take a brief hike on one of many viewpoint/stops, with plenty of parking and lots of pleasant fellow patrons to add to the overall positive experience. At the entrance gate, the attendant was so friendly and warm. We will happily be back! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
