Red Rock Canyon Experience

#christmasgiveaway

The red rocks at Red Rock Canyon are very much red indeed. We didn't do any hiking here, but it seemed that people were enjoying themselves. The nice thing about coming here is it's very easy to just do the loop in your car. There are plenty of places to stop along the way and get out to have a short walk around. So really there's a bit of something for everyone. You can do involved, long-duration hikes, or just stick to the road. Either way there's lots to see. #triplocal

Red Rock is definitely worth a visit if you are in Nevada. The views are breathtaking and spectacular. Make sure to bring a good footwear for hiking if you want to see or hike this picturesque rock! This is a real gem which my family enjoyed! #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

A piece of Danxia that I met in Las Vegas. If you dont try your luck, you can go to practice your feet. If you dont like gaming, you can go and enjoy the color. Just 15 kilometers from Las Vegas, there is a peculiar landscape. Some people call it the back garden of Las Vegas the Red Rock Canyon National Nature Reserve. From Las Vegas, you can reach the "RED ROCK CANYON" in half an hour. The red sandstone and white limestone layers in the valley are layered together, reflecting each other, with the backdrop of green plants. As well as the rolling hills in the distance, a landscape with a sense of three-dimensionality is formed. Of course, the best solution is to drive by car, a 13-mile-long return road, and the scenery along the way is beautiful.
