Amazing
Sep 2021
Amazing place to visit even with the heat over 100-degress well worth it. If you have a chance take a side trip and go check out this gem. We rented a car this trip so we could go see Red Rock and other sites outside of Vegas.
If you go you will not be disappointed. Bring plenty of water

Do yourself a favor and rent a bike to ride the scenic loop. It's like a hilly half-marathon course with smooth one-way pavement for the hole loop.

Spectacular scenery in Red Rock Canyon
Sep 2021
The tour was mainly a drive through . That was because of the tour we chose. I would have preferred more hiking and exploring. We did a private tour (TWO COUPLES) . The driver was extremely well informed and shared his knowledge with us. The van was comfortable and clean. All of us wore masks in spite of all being vaccinated (driver included). Although we had just been to Grand Canyon, Bryce and Zion, this was different enough to make it very worthwhile

Relaxing and beyond BEAUTIFUL!!!
Aug 2021 • Family
This is a must do ever time we visit Vegas. It is very relaxing and beyond beautiful. I recommend just renting a car and paying the $15 vs. $100+ tour. It’s really not about the money it is more about allowing you to enjoy Red Rock at your own pace. The first time we did a tour and the tour guide was very knowledgeable, but unfortunately it was done in an hour. Since then we have always rented a car so we can take advantage of other things Vegas has to offer and one benefit has been driving to Red Rock (as well as Valley of Fire and the Grand Canyon). I definitely recommend going to Red Rock and if you have your own car that would be a bonus.

Glad we went!
Sep 2021 • Couples
So glad we decided to rent a car to check this area out. A quick drive and excrement signs directing you to the entrance. Paid $15.00 to enter but we’ll worth it! Took the 13 mile scenic drive. Had stop offs to park and view and also to take a hike. Make sure to take water, a hat and sunscreen!

Great Vegas Destination
Aug 2021
Julio was a terrific tour guide. My son and I took an 8:00 AM tour (recommend early times in summer!) and Julio took us on a hike in Ice Box Canyon. Hard to believe this beautiful natural Canyon is 20 minutes from the strip! We are not gamblers, so this was a great way to spend part of the day.
Tour was a little pricey, but it didn't discourage us from booking the tour.

beautiful views
Jul 2021
drove here from the strip. Took little more than 30 minutes. Paid $10 or $15 to enter the park and drive the 13 mile loop. Be sure to stop at one of the first 2 stops because thats where all the red rocks are. In the summer, it was hot, really hot. Drank all of our water on the first stop and had to just drive the rest of the loop.

So pretty! A great day trip if you are travelling in Las Vegas! The rocks are so pretty and they have so many trails to explore! We even saw some mountain goats! Definitely going back!

Do you have to pay to go here? We are not wanting a tour. Just wanting to look around and take pictures.

Do any of the trails lead to dinosaur prints?

No not in that whole area but if you go south of Vegas they have indian drawings look up the best location for that, mostly out in the desert. This trip is short and just rock formations.

What are the best options to get to Red Rock and back to the Strip? We weren't planning on renting a car during our trip...

I've booked from canyontours com and was very happy with their service. Book VIP (not much difference), it leaves earlier so you get the best view before it gets crowded.

Is anyone aware of a guided tour that combines Red Rocks and Hoover Dam? I'm not interested in renting a vehicle; thanks. I'll be in LV at the end of March.

There is a Hoover Dam & Grand Canyon tour together. I don’t know about the Red Rock Canyon.

I have a work conference in Las Vegas until 330pm
Would I have enough time to make it out to red rock afterwards? No hiking but just doing the scenic drive?
How long does the drive take?

Yes!! Go and enjoy! You can stop at as many of the pull offs as you want. It is such a short drive from the city.

Is it possible to do a Red Rock Tour from the strip and be there in the evening to see the stars?

Red Rock would be beautiful at sunset and early evening, but you will need to check their closing times. From other answers, they are open until 8 p.m., but will soon only be open until 7 p.m. You might want to check with a Las Vegas tour company to see if they do special tours. It is really very close to the "strip" and Las Vegas.

The Scenic Drive is open every day of the year with hours changing slightly according to the season.
Nov - Feb - 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM
March - 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM
Apr - Sep - 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM
Oct - 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM
For hiking, I’d say it’s safe to follow those schedules or even finish an hour earlier just to be on the safe side.
