Red Rock Canyon is only about 20-minutes away, and gorgeous Canyons are providing perfect opportunities to hike, bike, and climb rocks. Lake Mead is only about an hour outside of the city, and it offers affordable cruising. A little further is the Death Valley in California and Utah’s Zion National Park.
