Email usAbout Pine Creek Canyon
The Pine Creek Canyon is one of the most popular canyons in the park since the path begins along the busy scenic loop road. The hike is easy, and the vegetation is quite varied.
Th trail includes two historical signs of the 1920s historical Wilson homestead, the remnants of the gate, and the house foundation. It is at the ten-mile point around the scenic loop drive and features RV parking, restrooms, and excellent interpretive signs.
The main path gives fine views of the mountains and the steep slopes enclosing the canyon and encounters many different wildflower species.
Pine Creek Canyon offers some of the best of the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area–beautiful and diverse plant communities nestled at the bottom of monolithic canyon walls. The ponderosa pine forest at the mouth of the canyon is a remnant from the last Ice Age, but it survives here thanks to the cool air and water flowing down Pine Creek Canyon.
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area RRCNCA can be found just a few minutes west of Las Vegas. It covers 195,819 acres in the Mojave desert. Red Rock Canyon is a world-renowned area of geologic beauty and interest. Increased visitor numbers can lead to increased injuries and damage.
