The park is truly colossal in scale: over 1.5 million acres. Here you’ll find quiet coves for swimming or fishing and wonderful photo opportunities as well.
- Red Rock: Red Rock Canyon provides families a nice counterpoint to the neon bustle of Las Vegas. Only a few miles west of the city, the canyon is named for its brilliant sandstone formations, a naturally-occurring display of gaudy colors and shapes. A fun name for a red dog!
