Red Rock Canyon

The Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area (197,000 acres) is located about 15 miles west of Las Vegas. The 13-mile scenic drive through the desert provides views of the valley, unusual rock formations, and signs of early Indian life. You can see Joshua trees, several species of cacti, and other desert shrubs and plants. There are signs to watch out for wild burros, and you'll probably see a few. Forty-five animal species are peculiar to this canyon, including big-horn sheep, cougar, wild horses, burros, fox, coyote, and bobcat. There are 30 species of reptiles and amphibians in the river areas. Dangerous animals are the rattle snake, scorpion, and the Gilla Monster lizard (they do not attack unless disturbed).
