Red Rock Canyon is located near Las Vegas. Just for reference, the driving distance is about 25 miles from the intersection of Las Vegas Blvd. and Tropicana. From I-17 take Charleston west all the way to the canyon.
If you are in Las Vegas and ask the locals regarding a good place to shoot scenics most will tell you about Red Rock Canyon and/or Valley of Fire State Park. In my opinion, the Valley of Fire is CONSIDERABLY more scenic (a 50 minute drive) than Red Rock Canyon (about a 25 minute drive). If you want to see what the Valley of Fire scenery looks like simply cut and paste the following URL into your browser's address bar and click on "Go" or equivalent.
IMPORTANT, please note ... whenever you visit a Pbase gallery for the first time, or if you have clicked on a size smaller than "original size" while visiting this or any other Pbase gallery, please be sure to click on "original" size, otherwise you will be presented with a low quality JPEG as versus the high quality JPEG (the size doesn't change, only the quality level of the JPEG compression); you only have to do this once, on the very first picture you look at.
Alternatively, on the very first picture you can add "/original" to the URL in the address bar and hit "refresh" or "go" as the case may be; again, you only have to do this once (on the very first picture). This "/original to the URL" approach is the sure-fire/no-mistake/best way to ensure you will see the highest quality JPEG presentation.
