This is exciting. If they can build a trail “from sea to shining sea”, we can build a trail along the 159 through Red Rock.
We have been working on it for years and this year we are getting some great traction thanks to our public private partnerships with BLM, FHA, NDOT, GON, RTC and Clark County. Phase 1 and 5 are approved and we are working on phases 2-4 now. More info on www.saveredrock.com. ... See MoreSee Less
The Great American Rail-Trail promises an trail experience through 12 states and DC. The trail will directly serve nearly 50 million people within 50 miles of the route.

The majority of these essays are set in Red Rock Canyon, including one about 'Sav(or)ing Red Rock.' As its author, I donated copies for fundraising to Save Red Rock, and it has been carried by the Red Rock Canyon visitor's center for several years now, where it sells well.
Thank you for the shout out!!! When it is safe to do so, it would be fun to organize a discussion with the authors to share lessons learned in writing a book or some similar topic. Maybe a fund raiser for Save Red Rock? I would gladly assist in organizing this if there is enough interest.
Thank you so much! Red Rock meant even more to me before I returned to Las Vegas and motivated me to come to what is my home now.
#TheGreatAmericanOutdoorsAct is now a law! We could not be more excited!!
Now over $900 million a year will be permanently funded for the Land and Water Conservation Fund, to help conservation with national parks and public lands. It will also create at least 100,000 jobs

Breaking News! On August 4th, President Trump will sign the Great American Outdoors Act and permanently fund the LWCF for our national parks and conservation areas like Red Rock! You can watch this live tomorrow at 10:30am EST by clicking here: www.whitehouse.gov/live/
Save Red Rock has been consistently working to help pass the #GreatAmericanOutdoorsAct which will fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund and dedicate billions of dollars to improve national parks and conserve public land.
Since the Great American Outdoors Act was passed by the Senate and House of Representatives, it includes approval and funding of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) which has a nation-wide $900 million/annual budget that is funded with federal oil and gas leases with the funds earmarked for conservation projects. This bill would give approximately $4 million annually to conservation projects in Nevada alone. The approval of this act is not yet finalized until it is signed by the President this Tuesday! We believe that the private parcels within the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation area would rank strongly for purchase with these funds.
Since the Bill was introduced in March we have been advocating to our Senators and Representatives to help pass this bill in order to bring more funding to our outdoors.
————— Please thank our Representatives and Senators for advocating to get this passed:
Question... Since this is Funded by Federal Oil and Gas Leases, will this make it Easier for the Federal Government to Lease Even MORE Land for Oil & Gas Purposes? Just trying to understand better and look at the entire agenda and overall picture.
We are ON for a Presidential signing ceremony to enact the Great American Outdoors Act into law, TOMORROW at 10:30am EST. Those who wish to watch can tune in here: www.whitehouse.gov/live/... See MoreSee Less

Avi Kwa Ame, Spirit Mountain’s 380,000 acres, are sacred to the 11 Yuman tribes in the area, rich in local history, a critical habitat for many plants and animals, and full of amazing outdoor recreation. If this area is designated a National Monument, it will he protected and the public can still enjoy all it has to offer.
