Red Rock Canyon seems a world away from the lights of Las Vegas though it's only a short drive. You can easily find parking along the paved trails, and there is no end to the hiking trails at your disposal. There are several gravel trails that most tourists not in appropriate gear can take, but you'll find most true hikers headed off on their own. If you have access to a car while in Vegas, make the trek out here. You won't regret it!
