Here’s the ultimate Nevada outdoor adventure guide

Here’s the ultimate Clark County, Nevada outdoor adventure guide—where jaw-dropping red rocks, epic viewpoints, and chill picnic stops make for a top-tier desert escape 🌵🔥

Top Spots to Visit in Clark County’s Red Rock Paradise:

1. Calico 1 (Scenic Loop Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89161, 6am–7pm): Start your exploration here and get wowed by kaleidoscopic rock formations—the lighting is insane at sunrise or sunset for those IG shots.
2. Red Rock Canyon NCA Scenic Drive (1000 Scenic Loop Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89161, 6am–5pm most days, open till midnight Tuesday!): Classic must-do with crazy-good panoramic lookouts and lots of pullouts to hop out and explore! Pro tip: Drive it on a Tuesday evening to catch sunset vibes when it’s open extra late.
3. Girl Scout Trail (Las Vegas, NV 89161): A moderate hike with wildflower spottings in spring and less-crowded paths—perfect for stretching your legs.
4. Calico Basin Top of View Point (Unnamed Road, Las Vegas, NV 89161): The name says it—epic views for miles. Bring binoculars for rock climbers on the cliffs!
5. Red Spring Boardwalk Trail & Picnic Area (Calico Basin, NV 89161): Chill on an easy, accessible boardwalk surrounded by lush springs—rare for the desert! Great spot for a snack break or a long, lazy lunch.

Getting Around: Rent a car or use ride-shares—public transport is limited here. Arrive early, especially on weekends, to snag parking at trailheads.

Food & Fuel Tips: Pack water and snacks—there are zero shops inside the scenic drive. After hiking, hit local spots in nearby Summerlin for classic Vegas eats.

Weather Watch: Temps soar in summer, so plan hikes early morning or late afternoon, and always carry sun protection.
