My dad use to take me out there in his Jeep back in 1963 to 1966, there was nothing but a rickety dirt road that had a few scary spots. We explored all over red rock. Sometimes we never saw another car out there. I have so many great memories of hiking and exploring at Red Rock before it was a tourist attraction.
Yeah I can imagine it would have been a cool place before it got touristified.
Still pretty cool even with tourists though.
Thanks for stopping by!
Going to Las Vegas next month. And BECAUSE of this video I'm going to red rock canyon while I'm there. Thanks for sharing. Even though this video is from two years ago it still applies 🙏🤗🤸🏾
Excellent! Glad you like the video - hope you have an awesome time there!
@@UltimateBucketList I sure did thanks 😊
Good job on this video.
A few quick notes:
1) Since this video came out, Red Rock has implemented a timed reservation system which is in effect from October 1 through May 31. You will get a 30 minute window to enter the park. You can't enter before or after that window. There is a fee for the reservation.
2) It's not a one track road. It's two lanes, one way. One of the greatest frustrations of locals/regulars is people driving straight down the middle, hogging both lanes, and blocking everyone from going past.
3) As you can see from the great drone footage in this video, Red Rock is drone friendly. Drones are allowed everywhere in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area with the exception of the La Madre Wilderness and the Rainbow Wilderness areas.
Great tips, thanks for posting!
How long does it take to drive the scenic route? Looking to do night photography but I don’t want to get stuck in there for hours
@@ChrisGraham8 It's 13 miles around, with a speed limit of 35 mph most of the way. It usually takes around 45 minutes, without stopping.
The road is two lanes, one way, but many people don't realize this and just drive straight down the center, blocking anyone from passing. Such is life
@@ednafronkelbarger8601 Thank you so much, I’ll make sure to mind the road
It used to be inhabited by a gang called the Great Khans but they fled during the second battle of Hoover Dam.
Thanks for the info.
@@UltimateBucketList it’s from the fallout new Vegas game Loll
Thank god for people like you Vegas was the best game I ever played
Thanks. It's on my bucket list for about 2 weeks from now. Got permission to fly my drone over most areas, other than 2 designated wildlife areas.
Sweet! That footage is going to look super amazing.
Thanks for commenting on this video.
Good luck brother, looking forward to seeing your work! :)
There is a Red Rock Canyon in California as well. It is much smaller than the Nevada one, but it is also very scenic.
I didn't know that, thanks for the heads up!
Use to go there almost every day and have even spent overnights out on the overlook. Saw a bizarre light show out there in the 90s too. Lights as in...weird lights that would multiply into more etc. All in the 90s in my 1st car- a black convertible.
Sounds like an amazing time with great memories!
Not sure what to make of the light show ... I have heard about the mysterious unexpected things that happen in the Nevada desert though.
I went last year and no photos can do it justice you need to go.
I totally agree ... it's a place you need to come to, to get the full amazing experience.
I had no idea until today (02/22/22) when my friend asked me if we could go visit this place which btw, Ive never been here before but after seeing videos of it we are definately going to vist Red Rock Canyon in May 2022 when we come to Las Vegas on vacation, CANT WAIT!!!!
Fantastic! Yeah it's a short drive from Red Rock Casino & Resort (one of my favourite places to gamble) and Red Rock Canyon itself is so cool - you can spend hours in that place.
My advice: the first three stops are the most picturesque so spend the majority of your time here!
I travled around the USA in the early 80"s after retiring from the navy. My travels brought me through Red Rock Canyon and to my best memory everything was free!
Sadly things have changed, you get charged to drive through it now.
Still totally worth it though.
Used to live there in the 90's and hit RRC about once a month, WHEN IT WAS FREE...
I can believe that!
Thank you for profiling this place. Have heard of it but never seen up close on CZcams.
Anytime! It's totally worth a trip just to see this place.
The scenery is staggering, especially at the first two stops.
Loved it!!!!
Thanks.
Great video. Helped me a lot to plan my trip to Red Rock Canyon
Glad this helped! Hope you have a wonderful time there!
@@UltimateBucketList yes 👍😊
Hello I'm new Subscriber what camera you used for vlogging?
Thanks for commenting. Back then I used a Canon M50, but nowadays, my travel camera is a Sony ZV-E10
This is a great destination for a bucket list
Absolutely! I loved this place and I can't wait to go back!
Thanks for stopping by this video - check out some of my others for more like this :)
Great job on the narration! Very good tips too!
Thanks! Hope you have an amazing time if you do come here!
🌸🦋 Thankyou !!!
You are so welcome! :)
I’ve been to Laughlin and Vegas 22 times and never seen it.
Maybe this October
I hope you visit - it's pretty cool out there!
I was there. Calico Tanks was a great hike.
Yeah, it's a cool place to hike for sure.
Have been there before. It was so worth it!
Definitely! I was pleasantly surprised at how vast it was and it wasn't overtly touristy. I spent way too long in the first stop, I had to rush through the rest of them!
Ultimate Bucket List I’ll be honest. I also rushed. XD.
Im their 3 to 4 times a week. My back yard. Nice video.
Thanks! What a cool place you live in. So jealous, wish I could be there right now ... :)
Do you pay a one time yearly fee?
How does it work if you live nearby.
I'm thinking of moving to the area.
@@Nathanvoie Yes, there is an annual pass available.
Great video!
Thanks! :)
thanks
Thanks bro, much appreciated.

Cool!!!!!
Yeah, the views are pretty immense.
We walked in because the park was closed (full) to car traffic. Many of us parked on the side of the road and walked in. Disappointed we couldn't do the drive. It was a beautiful spring Sunday early afternoon. Next time have to get there earlier.
Yeah it can get clogged up pretty quickly. If you do ever get to go again - the drive is pretty cool.
The best bit is hiking up the rocks, for sure.
Yeah, getting there early is the best way. Its cooler, lighting is best for pics and less crowded. Living just 90 minutes from Yosemite NP, I try to hit the gate by sunrise. By noon, I'm done and see people just getting started. Always buy my America the Beautiful pass, gets me (or party of 4 at walk-ins) into all NPs for a year.
Excelente
Thank you very much!
im planing to rent a ferrari convertible next time i come to Vegas woud red rock woud be a great excursion its rent time is limited to 4 hours i plan to stop for a drink or meal and of course a nice photoshoot
That's a sweet idea! Why didn't I think of that?
Man, I kinda wanna do that myself now, the next time I'm in Vegas!
I'll put it this way. There's a chance that you'll see other Ferraris, and/or Lamborghinis and Maseratis when you're there.
great video, usufull information
Thanks, I appreciate the comment.

good tip on the one-way road. Looks like a place where one visit will not be enough.
so the stops on the scenic route, are they obvious stops, like with places to park, or do you just pull over anywhere and park along the road?
There are actual car parks at each stop. You could pull off to the side of the road and stop randomly, but I highly don't recommend it, as the nearest stopping points to the ones of interest are these car parks!
@@UltimateBucketList This has changed completely since 2018. You are only allowed to park in designated parking areas. Any other area off to the side of the road is prohibited. You can't even pause where you are momentarily to take a photo. They take this seriously. They have put large boulders in place to block access to what used to be popular spots to pull over for scenic views along the way.
Great video
Thanks Albert! Check out my channel for more like this :)
You could fit alotta raiders in there
Yes you can!
Nice vid
Thanks man.
Going to hot springs Utah tomorrow any ideas?
Having never been myself, I couldn't possibly tell you.
Hi Anna make sure you bring a towel
ok that was a very unexpected accent lol omg I love it
Thanks, much appreciated!
They also have an electric bike tour.
Oh I didn't know that. That sounds like fun!
@@UltimateBucketList czcams.com/video/Z39No7a7qlY/video.html
@@kevinbreese5739 Now THAT looks like a great way to see Red Rock Canyon! Thanks for the heads up!
You can actually see it from literally anywhere in vegas.
Yes, you can.
I actually have a National Park pass so I can get in for free.
That's a nice perk!
Been there for 20+ years
Cool!
Where are the Khans.....?
Walk from Vegas so you only pay 5 dollars? Challenge accepted! (when my financial circumstances will permit it) Just give me lots of sun block, a hat and a large water bottle and I'd take the 90 minute walk through the desert to get here and another long walk down the one way road and the hikes.
I highly recommend you just pay the $5!
@@UltimateBucketList What do you mean? You pay 5 dollars to enter the park on foot right? I meant walking to the park without a car so you don't have to pay additional for the vehicle. Is there something I'm missing?
@@Nebiros21 What I meant was ... pay the extra for going in a car. It's not exactly walking distance from downtown Vegas to Red Rock Canyon!
William S. Wow you’re a rock muncher
15 or 50$?
$15
Go to Grand Canyon South. Not west.
I did. I still prefer Red Rock.
No utv s rangers out there ther are a few places to sneek in
Yes.
$15? I remember when it was free.
Yes indeed. Those were the good ol' days where greedy corporations didn't charge money to see natural beauty.
Это бывший карьер прошлой цивилизации , как и Гранд Каньон.
Я полагаю, что.
I'm assuming locals get in free?
I believe so, yes? You just have to provide proof of address at the gates.
@@UltimateBucketList or just have a state license plate
@freewheelburning8834 I don't think that would work, as hire cars that tourists like me use also have State plates.
@@UltimateBucketList a local license works here in Montana at these national parks but outsiders have to also pay fifteen dollars thats why I asked
15 bucks to see a canyon lol
The irony.
@@UltimateBucketList its a tourist scam
It's butter next time to let the camera room around and you do voice not al the time the camera on your face
It's also better to learn how to spell and write properly.
Might want to learn that before you criticize others.
RED ROCK CANYON IS NOT "RIGHT OUTSIDE OF VEGAS"
Okay, it's like 45 minutes outside - but that's relatively short in the grander scheme of things.
@@UltimateBucketList Except of course that the western boundary of the City of Las Vegas is only 4 miles from Red Rock Canyon. And yes, people (like me) who live out on the western edge do sometimes walk to Red Rock. Mostly, people bicycle there. The entrance fees for people walking or riding bikes are fairly new. There were no such fees 10 years ago.
