Description
Red Rock Canyon is located just outside of Las Vegas, Nevada, United States of America. The Red Rock area has a complex geological history, which over millions of years, helped to create the dramatic landscape that characterizes the region.
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area presents awe-inspiring views most wouldn't expect to see near a major metropolitan city. In contrast to the bright lights and hype of the Strip, Red Rock offers desert beauty, towering red cliffs and abundant wildlife.
The mountains in the Red Rock area were formed by a number of geological forces including fractured faults where the earth's crust collided over millions of years and fossilized sand dunes. Some cliffs reach up an astounding 3,000 feet. The sandstone rocks in the conservation area get their color from iron oxide. Over centuries the iron oxide built up, producing the vibrant, crimson color the canyon illustrates today.
