Red Rock Canyon Las Vegas

Outdoors around Las Vegas (Photo Essay)

Las Vegas might be one of the most spectacular cities in the world, and certainly one of my favorite places, but just a few miles outside the city there’s all kinds of natural beauty. While this is just a few glimpses of what can be found in the close to the city in Red Rock National Park and the area around Mount Charleston, there’s much more to be explored in the old ghost towns, the Grand Canyon, Death Valley and other places.

More ideas for places to see outside Las Vegas can be found in our Travel Guide article about outdoor adventures in Las Vegas.
