Description

This self-guided experience offers the perfect mix of convenience, flexibility, and local flavor—designed for independent adventurers who want to explore the best of Red Rock Canyon without a tour group. Start your day with a pickup of hiking gear, including trekking poles, CamelBaks pre-filled with water, and light snacks. You'll also receive a quick local briefing and a curated route plan based on your goals, fitness level, and the day’s conditions. Choose from popular Red Rock hikes like: Calico Tanks – Panoramic Vegas views from ancient red rock basins Keystone Thrust – A geologic collision zone millions of years old White Rock Loop – Peaceful high desert with fewer crowds Ice Box Canyon – A shaded, seasonal waterfall spot Want something extra? Add on a visit to Cowboy Cave, a rugged but short off-trail adventure outside the park—known only to locals and tied to Nevada's Wild West lore. After your hike, take a short drive to the tiny desert village of Blue Diamond, where you can enjoy lunch at the charming Cottonwood Station Eatery. Keep an eye out—wild burros frequently roam the area, adding a magical (and Instagram-worthy) finish to your day.
