Red and cream-colored sandstone cliffs rise abruptly out of the desert just 20 minutes from the Strip, laced with hiking trails and a scenic 13-mile loop drive.

Know before you go

  • The scenic drive is one-way and requires a timed-entry reservation during peak season
  • Calico Hills and Ice Box Canyon are the most popular short hikes for first-time visitors
  • Go early morning or near sunset to avoid the desert heat and catch the rock face glowing red
