Just under 9 miles of off road fun  Rocky Gap Road is a very cool way to explore Red Rock Canyon and the Spring Mountains  You can take this road from Lovell Canyon Road into Red Rock or vice versa  If you start from Red Rock you will be required to pay the admission fee  if you do not have a recreational pass  which I do and highly recommend for outdoor enthusiasts   Having the proper vehicle is essential to safely traverse this road  Toyota 4 runners and Tacoma s  Jeeps and other high clearance autos are highly recommended  We have seen people hiking the trail from the Willow Spring picnic area in Red Rock where the road begins  but rarely any foot traffic after the first 2 miles  Pink Jeep Tours are also spotted on this section of the road as well  The road follows and occasionally crosses a creek  and there are various beautiful areas along the trail to stop  some with concrete picnic tables and fire rings  There s a plethora of hiking trails that to explore as well  Shortly after the summit when driving from Red Rock is a fun section dubbed the rock garden  We ve seen multiple drivers choose to turn around here  For those that continue  the road mellow out and runs into Lovell Canyon Road which you can then take to Highway 160 and head to Pahrump or back over the hump to Vegas Yelp Reviews 2018 4 100

Rocky Gap Road  aka potato ridge  runs from the Willow Springs Picnic Area in Red Rock Canyon to Lovell Canyon Rd in the Spring Mountains  RGR is 8 6 miles  While some people may attempt this road by car  I strongly suggest making your way though with a high clearance 4WD vehicle unless you want to get stuck or just end up turning around because you realize you can t make it  The road is rocky and rough  living up to the name of the road  in most areas where it s been washed out  This road also provides access to different hikes  so always be aware and keep your eyes open especially during those nicer months when the area is more crowded with hikers  As long as you have the proper vehicle  gear and essentials this is a beautiful and scenic area to check out
