Highlights

Here you will see the old Wilson’s homestead where life was carved out of desert wilderness. See stunning fauna and flora, an old west graveyard, the old cattle ranch, and a desert wilderness home of the world’s richest man - Howard Hughes!

Built for workers of the Blue Diamond Mine, this quaint town in the middle of the gorgeous Red Rock Canyon conservation area has everything you’d want in an old west mining town - tiny homes including a historic home on the Old Spanish Pioneer Trail, it’s own general store, church and you may catch a wild Burro walking through town!

Absolutely beautiful, worth the trip - This was the highlight of our trip. The tour guide was fun to listen to and very knowledgeable about the plants, animals, and history of the area. Red Rock Canyon is absolutely beautiful and definitely worth the trip. The small group and fantastic tour guide was perfect.
There is a lot of walking, including an uphill section, so comfortable shoes are great. The hike is not too difficult, and I made it as a sedentary office worker.
There were quite a few opportunities for photos during the tour

Loved my tour of Red Rock Canyon - The guide was great and really knowledgeable about Red Rock Canyon as well as all other aspects of Vegas . The tour wasn't arduous and is suitable for anyone really as you can go at your own pace. The ranch and mining town were great to see and really interesting but its the beauty and tranquility of those red rocks that leave a lasting impression . Really enjoyed it and would recommend

Red Rock - Tour guide Steve really knew his stuff and made our small group very educated of the history of the Red Rock area.
