Red Rock Canyon

Red Rock Canyon is very close to Las Vegas. It takes half hour to drive from the strip the the park. During summer time it can be very hot, so it is more recommended to travel in spring, autumn, or winter. The park is not small and not free if you want to drive on the scenic drive, which is the most beautiful part of the park. There are lots of parking spots along the scenic drive and many nice trail to hike. You can see lots of beautiful rocks and canyons in the park. Also, there are lots of desert plants and animals in the canyon. If you have never been to such canyon, it definitely worth the visit here, especially you are on the strip. It is nice to have a quite half day away from the crowd strip and enjoy the natural beauty of Nevada!
