Guests will begin their tour with a photo opportunity at the famed “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign”. After a quick ride from your Las Vegas hotel you’ll be ready to explore Red Rock Canyon. The stunning landscape has served as the backdrop for dozens of films and your guide will share more insight into the park’s place in film history.
Part of the Keystone Thrust, the Wilson Cliffs are 3,000 feet high and are a popular hiking and climbing destination. Thousands of years ago, Wilson Cliffs’ towering walls were the perfect canvas for tribal artwork. Your Certified Interpretive Guide will explain the meaning and history of these ancient pictographs.
Awaiting you near the end of your tour, the Calico Hills are truly a grand finale. These rock formations are ancient sand dunes with fossils of animals and plants preserved within their layers. Depending on the time of day, you’ll see why these hills are named “Calico;” a kaleidoscope of pinks, reds and oranges shift with the changing light.
Before ending your incredible day, take the paved trail up to Red Rock Overlook. You’ll see all the landmarks from your tour at once and leave with incredible photos and memories of your beautiful Southwest adventure. Box Lunch will be served on the tour.
