The trails we hike and bike, the walls we climb, the dark skies we love...Red Rock Canyon NCA is managed by the Bureau of Land Management. A proposed FY27 budget would gut the BLM:

• 34% budget cut
• 76% cut to National Conservation Lands like Red Rock
• 61% slashed from recreation

Congress can reject it — but only if they hear from us.

3 million acres. That`s how much protection Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante just lost — enough to virtually erase both monuments. These lands are an Indigenous homeland stewarded since time immemorial, home to Tribal cultural resources, wildlife, and clean water. We can`t stay quiet. Sign the petition and tell Congress to defend them.

Summer is here, and the heat at Red Rock Canyon is no joke! ☀️ Hiking? Go early, hydrate often, and turn back before you`re tired.

A few desert essentials:
💧 At least 1 gallon of water per person
🧢 Hat, sunscreen, and light layers
📱 Tell someone your route and return time

Also, the canyon will still be there at sunset. Choose cooler times of day to recreate safely.
