Review:

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is a located 15 miles west of Las Vegas. Just like its name suggests, Red Rock Canyon features gigantic sandstone rocks dyed by iron oxide over several centuries that rise to soaring heights of over 3,000 feet with the highest peak reaching 8,000 feet. They were formed by a plethora of geological forces, including fossilized sand dunes and fractured faults, making them a legendary destination for rock climbers and hikers. The area is also an archeologist’s dream find, with several petroglyphs and pottery fragments left behind by the Native American tribes who settled in the area due to the abundant animal and plant life.
