Red Rock Canyon State Park
Expect solitude and plenty of parking
Great any time
Dramatic cliffs and buttes in vibrant reds, pinks, and whites create a stunning desert landscape. The colorful rock formations, shaped by millions of years of erosion, have served as a backdrop for countless Hollywood westerns and sci-fi films. The park features 50 miles of hiking trails, excellent wildflower displays after wet winters, and desert wildlife. The Ricardo Campground offers easy access to hiking. A photographer's paradise, especially during golden hour.
