Tread Lightly: Protecting the Desert`s Delicate Ecosystem 🌻🌵
When you visit Red Rock Canyon, please remember that every step matters! To protect the fragile desert landscape and its inhabitants, it is absolutely essential to stay on sanctioned trails only.
Why stick to the trail?
• Protecting Fragile Soil: Desert soil is incredibly delicate. ""Social"" or unauthorized trails scar the land, leading to erosion and long-term damage.
• Safeguarding Wildlife: Off-trail travel disturbs habitats and can directly harm threatened species, including the federally protected Desert Tortoise.
• Preserving Native Plants: Many fragile plants, like the beautiful and rare Red Rock sunflower, are damaged easily and endangered. Staying on trail protects them.
Recreate responsibly and help us preserve the safety, sustainability, and serenity of Red Rock Canyon for every plant, animal, and visitor.

Red Rock gives us so much, but it needs our care and protection! That`s why we`re partnering with the Center for Biological Diversity to protect the rare, endemic Red Rock sunflower 🌻
