LAS VEGAS - The 13-mile Scenic Drive at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area will be open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. starting June 21. Summer hours normally start April 1 but were delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and measures to address visitor, employee and volunteer safety.
Visitation could be heavy at times, with the most congested time anticipated between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., especially on weekends and holidays. There is also limited mobile phone service at Red Rock Canyon NCA, so please keep this in mind when using ride-sharing services - you may not have coverage to hail a ride back.
Red Rock Canyon was designated as Nevada's first national conservation area. It is located 17 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip on Charleston Boulevard/State Route 159.
