Great video! The last 3 times Iāve been in Vegas, I never set foot in a casino. Instead I spent all my time at Red Rocks, Valley of Fire, Lake Mead and Mount Charleston. I had a much better time and left town with a lot more money!

Calico Tanks trail is iconic, a must go hiking trailer for all levels. While turtlehead peak trail is more challenge but still a moderate difficulties, pay attention to the trail marker, stay on trail to avoid lost. Ice box canyon trail is all about scrambling among big rocks, your knee will definitely talk to you when you completed it, but it is cool particularly in a hot day.

I appreciate your attention to detail and the accuracy of your historic and cultural comments. I agree; these are the 3 premier hikes in Red Rock. You've done a great job placing them in context with Las Vegas.

Love Red Rock and Calico Basin and Valley of Fire! Every Vegas trip now we make time for those spots, itās beautiful!
-
Well done. One of the best hiking guide videos I've watched on YouTube. Thanks

I visited here back in 2017 and had just a few hours in the morning to explore. My plan was to do the Calico Tanks trail, but when I arrived, it was closed - they were doing work on the trail. Instead I walked along the Grand Loop Trail at the base of Calico Hills. It was a nice consolation prize. Fantastic video.. thanks for sharing!

It should definitely be a national park

I was just there last week! I had never heard of it before and it completely blew my mind.

I did Bridge mountain and Mount Wilson out there.Hard, long and dangerous but so beautiful. One of my favorite places.
