Late Night Trailhead: A Hiker's Paradise

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving, start from the Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center. Head west on NV-159 W for approximately 5.5 miles. Look for the entrance to the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area on your left. Upon entering, you will need to pay the entrance fee, which is around $15 for a vehicle. Continue on the scenic loop road for about 7 miles until you reach the Late Night Trailhead, which is located at Parking lot, Unnamed Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89161. There will be signs indicating the trailhead as you approach.

• Public Transportation

  Currently, there is limited public transportation available directly to the Red Rock Canyon area. However, you can take a public bus to the nearest stop in Summerlin and then use a rideshare service (like Uber or Lyft) to reach the Late Night Trailhead. From the Las Vegas Strip, take the RTC Bus Route 203 to the Summerlin area. Once you arrive, request a rideshare to the trailhead, which should take about 15-20 minutes. Be aware that rideshare costs will vary but expect to pay between $15 and $25.

• Biking

  For those who are adventurous and fit, biking from the Las Vegas area to the Late Night Trailhead can be an option. Start your ride from the Las Vegas Strip and head west towards Red Rock Canyon. The distance is approximately 20 miles and involves navigating through roads and potentially busy traffic. Ensure you have a good map or GPS, and remember to bring water and snacks, as this can be a challenging ride. Upon reaching the entrance of Red Rock Canyon, you will still need to pay the entrance fee of $15.
