📸 Find the NEW Red Rock Canyon Photo Spot!

Great news! Taking photos with the iconic Red Rock Canyon NCA sign is now safer and easier than ever!

The popular "Red Rock Canyon Marker North" has been relocated as part of Phase 1 of the Red Rock Legacy Trail Project, creating a dedicated paved parking lot for visitors. This safety-focused initiative, championed by Save Red Rock, moves the sign off the highway so you can park safely and snap your pictures without worrying about traffic.

📍 Where to find the relocated sign:
The marker is on the north side of State Route 159 (Red Rock Canyon Road), approximately 1.7 miles west of the intersection at West Charleston Boulevard and Sky Vista Drive.

Come enjoy this safer visitor experience! We`re thrilled that the first phase of the Red Rock Legacy Trail is already prioritizing safety for everyone who loves Red Rock Canyon. ❤️

Many Red Rock plants—like yucca and Joshua trees—were used by Indigenous communities for food, tools, and medicine. The canyon is shaped by thousands of years of Native knowledge. This Native American Heritage Month, we honor the original caretakers of Red Rock Canyon and the deep cultural roots that still guide this landscape today.

We challenge you to take action: • Learn something new about Red Rock’s Indigenous history • Share it • Support conservation efforts that protect this land
Honor the past. Protect the future.

This Thanksgiving, we have a lot to be thankful for…

✅ Red Rock Canyon celebrated its 35th birthday as a National Conservation Area.

✅ Over 100 volunteers signed up to attend our Lovell Canyon Volunteer Day, restoring trails and signage, removing invasive vegetation, repairing fences, collecting litter, and more!

✅ Your voices – twice – helped prevent the sell off of public lands by members of congress.

✅ The Red Rock Legacy Trail, after 20 years of ongoing effort, broke ground on Phase 1 in July.

✅ Red Rock Canyon NCA and Save Red Rock launched a series of Star Parties, and are on track to achieve an Urban Night Sky Place designation for Red Rock Canyon by Dark Sky International.

✅ We recycled over 3,495 lbs. of clothing, books, and used goods and 50 pieces of furniture and other large items for our Savers FUNDrive for World Recycling Day.

✅ We attended events with The Refuge Climbing Gym, Red Rock Canyon NCA, Friends of Red Rock Tortoise Trot, UltraX Nevada, Southern Nevada Pedal Fest, and Chainsmoker Mountain Bike Race.

While Red Rock Canyon has been protected for the last 35 years, another 35 years is not guaranteed. Join in or donate today to make sure this sacred landscape is protected.

Thank you for making a difference with your continued support. 🌍❤️

Warm wishes this Thanksgiving from Save Red Rock! 🦃
