Red Rock Canyon Tour – Great Places to Visit off the Las Vegas Strip

Vegas is more than just a four mile strip of bustling casinos and world class hotels. Sure, it is the main attraction but there’s more to Vegas than the Las Vegas Strip. When visiting Las Vegas, make sure to venture out and see the natural and more “wholesome” sights.

Red Rock Canyon

Showcasing massive red rock and sandstone formations, the Red Rock Canyon can be seen all the way from the Las Vegas Strip. It was naturally formed over 600 million years ago due to massive rock shifting.

In the late 19^th century, the canyon was utilized as sandstone quarry and mining site. But because of its innate beauty and abundance of plant and animal life, all attempts at development and destruction were ceased by the end of World War II. The Red Rock Canyon is now protected by the National Conservation Area of Nevada and the Bureau of Land Management.

Located only 30 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, the Red Rock Canyon is visited by more than a million people annually. Apart from being mesmerized by the scenic view, guests can hike trails, view wild burros, horses, and many different desert plants too.
