Things To Do Near Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas

Red Rock Canyon National Recreation Area has opportunities for every kind of outdoor recreation, although that's not the only type of thing to do near Red Rock.

A scenic drive allows visitors to get a look at the striking desert scenery without leaving their vehicles, and hiking, bike riding, and rock climbing are all popular activities in and around the area. Spring Mountain Ranch State Park is the site of preserved historic homes and structures that date back to some of the earliest non-native residents of the area.

Bonnie Springs Ranch, which is not far from Spring Mountain Ranch, is fun for kids and families, with a "Wild West" park that stages gunfights and holds shows.
