197,000 wildlife acres of the Mojave Desert are protected within the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Located very close to the
Las Vegas Strip, once you enter the Red Rock area you are transported into a whole other world containing a desert ecosystem with touches of the Native American presence that once inhabited here. There are plenty of opportunities to hike, bike and climb on trails and cliffs of varying difficulty; just bring plenty of water! From the highest point, 4,760 feet, one can see the entire valley stretching out towards the horizon. This is a true natural beauty.
