Red Rock Canyon in Nevada

Red Rock Canyon is a nature reserve located about 25 kilometers from Las Vegas. It is a unique natural monument. 600 million years ago, the canyon was under the ocean waters.

250 million years ago, the Earth’s crust began to rise, pushing salt and gypsum out of the water. Exposing areas of the former ocean floor caused the oxidation of rocks and they acquired a bizarre red color. Thanks to him, the canyon got its name.

The cliffs of the canyon stretch for several kilometers in length, and the total area of the reserve is almost 80 hectares. Between the rocks there is a small road on which you can move by car. This will make traveling along the canyon not only comfortable, but also comfortable.
