October 9, 2024, Calico Tanks Trail – Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area

Hike in Red Rock Canyon. Well-signposted hiking trail to the Calico Tanks. You have to use your hands at times. Once you reach the top, you have a wonderful view all the way to Las Vegas. Reservations required for entry to the park! Don't forget water and there is no internet connection for most of the time.
