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.

🌼 May Day at Red Rock 🌼

May Day is a reminder that it’s spring again. At Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, that shows up in simple ways—some desert plants starting to bloom, more movement from wildlife, and the landscape looking a little less dry and a little more alive.

It’s also the start of Bike Month—a perfect time to get outside, hit the trails, and take it all in. 🚴‍♂️🌿
