| Red Rocks (formally, Red Rock Recreation Area) is so close to Las Vegas that people ride their bikes out there from town, yet it provides a surprisingly secluded desert rock experience. It offers everything from 60' sport climbs to big walls, and the climate makes it a great destination in late fall or early spring. |
