Calico Tanks

Jan 5, 2012

When it comes to Las Vegas hiking trails, Calico Tanks is probably one of the more popular in Red Rock Canyon. This trail gives you a little bit of everything Red Rock Canyon has to offer. Along the way you will see a mix of red and white sandstone, bristlecone pines, some rock scrambling and the trail ends with a natural bowl where water collects in the wetter seasons and a terrific view of Las Vegas. This is a down and back trail with a distance of about 1.25 miles each way. The path is easy to follow but will give you a nice workout as it goes up about 400 feet in elevation from the trailhead to the top. Read Full Trail Guide
