Our family loves to visit Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas. It's absolutely gorgeous. Here's info about the Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center, Red Rock Canyon Entry Fees, and Family-Friendly Red Rock Canyon Hikes with kids.
Easy Red Rock Canyon Hikes
All these Red Rock Canyon Hikes are family-friendly (my kids did these hikes at ages 3 & 5).
Red Springs Boardwalk
Red Springs Boardwalk
Red Springs Boardwalk is located outside of the Scenic Loop, which means it doesn't require a fee or reservation! It's the only trail in Red Rock Canyon that is wheelchair and stroller friendly. See my full review of Red Springs Boardwalk here.
Lost Creek Children's Discovery Trail
This is the top recommendation for a easy hike within the Scenic Loop. No sharp cliffs, drops, and it's an easy loop.See my full review of Lost Creek Children's Discovery Trail here.
Petroglyph Wall Trail is the shortest hike in Red Rock Canyon. On this kid-friendly hike you'll even see petroglyphs. See my full review of Petroglyph Wall Trail here.
Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center (Discovery Plaza)
The Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center (Discovery Plaza) is a hidden gem — you don't want to miss it!
At the visitor center you'll find amazing information, interactive exhibits, tortoise feedings, and gorgeous views. See my full review of the Red Rock Visitor Center (Discovery Plaza) here!
