Red Rock Canyon and Rocky Gap Jeep Tour
Leave Las Vegas to see the rust-red geological wonders of Red Rock Canyon and Rocky Gap.
Located just a few miles west of Las Vegas, and encompassing over 195,000 acres within the Mojave Desert, Red Rock Canyon is an area of profound geological interest and renowned natural beauty, perfect for lovers of both nature and hiking.
On this tour, you will hop into the tour operator’s signature Pink Jeep Wrangler – a short distance from your Las Vegas hotel – and begin your open-air trek across Red Rock Canyon’s scenic lands. You’ll start at the Visitor’s Centre, getting your fill of educational exhibits and seeing the local desert tortoises in a protected habit before continuing on your way. Your experienced guide will take you on a scenic 13-mile drive through the desert, treating you to incredible views from Red Rock Overlook and other lookouts along the way. You can ask to stop wherever you’d like to visit, but rest assured the guide will make sure you get to enjoy views of the 3,000-foot-tall Wilson Cliffs, decorated with art from ancient tribes thousands of years ago, and pass by the Spring Mountains, named for their numerous streams and impressive array of about 600 species of flora and wildlife. You will also witness the kaleidoscopic colours of the Calico Hills, before being taken through the rugged, wild 8.2 mile stretch of Rocky Gap Road. Your guide is a trained off-road driver, so get ready for a fun ride through an old wagon route once used by pioneers before heading back to the Strip.
