Calico Hills Trail, Red Rock Conservation Area, Nevada, A Virtual Treadmill Hike
Virtual Treadmill Video showing hiking in the Red Rock Conservation Area, near Las Vegas, Nevada. Working out at the gym can be tedious at times, and I found that being able to be distracted by viewing places and trails, when I am not able to actually get away, is much more entertaining than watching TV, and makes the time go much faster.

RED ROCK CANYON, NEVADA - An easy trip from Las Vegas
Something that completely took us by surprise while visiting Las Vegas is the plethora of opportunities to visit scenic areas just outside of the city. Nestled just a short drive away from Las Vegas strip is the imposing Red Rock Canyon. To visit we partnered with Pink Jeep Tours who whisked us to numerous different vantage points where we had the opportunity to hike, walk and climb certain parts of the National Park. It's definitely an experience I'd recommend to others and it left me feeling nostalgic because the scenery and imposing landscapes are similar to what I experienced backpacking in Northern Argentina five years ago.

Visiting Red Rock Canyon - day trip from Las Vegas Travel Video Script:
On our second day in Las Vegas we decided to escape the city and enjoy a bit of the natural scenery. We joined the Pink Jeep Tour for an afternoon exploring Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Located about a half hour drive outside of the city this is an easy day trip filled with rugged desert landscapes. We spent a few hours driving through the park and also doing a bit of hiking along the way. Here are some of the highlights.
Alright, it's time to climb this bad boy. Okay, show us your climbing skills. Scramble up that mountain. Just like an old man.
So this over here is the Calico Ridge and the landscape reminds me a lot of Northern Argentina.
The toilet. Is the toilet occupied? Hmm. Huh?
Hello, there.
So we are coming to the end of this outing. We're just doing our last little hike through the park and soon we'll be back in Las Vegas. But how did you enjoy it? It's been awesome. It is so nice. I didn't realize that there was so many scenic areas just outside of Las Vegas. And the best part is that I am building up an appetite for an enormous steak. Or sushi? No, steak.
This is part of our Travel in the United States series. We're making a series of videos showcasing American culture, American arts, American foods, American religion, American cuisine and American people.

ABOUT RED ROCK CANYON NATIONAL CONSERVATION AREA
After a few days at the casinos in Las Vegas, it will be time to take a break. Hop into a vehicle and head out to Red Rock Canyon National Recreation Area. A feast for the eyes, Red Rock Canyon is less than an hour's drive west of Las Vegas and has many significant geologic features. The area is a good place to kick back and just enjoy nature's wonders.
The most significant geologic feature of Red Rock Canyon is the Keystone Thrust Fault. A thrust fault is a fracture in the earth's crust where one rock plate is thrust horizontally over another. About 65 million years ago, it is believed that two of the earth's crustal plates collided with such force that part of one plate was shoved up and over younger sandstones. This thrust contact is clearly defined by the sharp contrast between the grey limestones and the red sandstones. The Keystone Thrust Fault extends from the Cottonwoood Fault (along the Pahrump Highway) 13 miles northward to the vicinity of La Madre Mountain, where it is obscured by more complex faulting.
The not-to-be-missed 13-Mile Loop Drive offers sightseeing, vistas and overlooks. If your time is limited, stop at either of the Calico Vista points. Both offer good vantage points for photographs of crossed-bedded Aztec sandstone. For easy walking access to the sandstone, stop at the Sandstone Quarry parking lot. There you can see large blocks of stone and other historic evidence of the quarry activity as it occurred shortly after the turn of the century.
Picnic sites are available at Red Spring and Willow Spring. Additional pullouts, offering views of wooded canyons and desert washes, are located at Icebox Canyon, Pine Creek Canyon and Red Rock Wash.
Several short hikes offering a diversity of environments and scenery are accessible from the loop drive. A short trail to the bottom of the canyon at the second Calico Vista leads down to the Aztec sandstone and, after seasonal rains, to small pools of water. There is easier hiking at Sandstone Quarry where many small canyons await exploration. The Calico Hills are riddled with natural water catchments called potholes or tinajas (tee-nah-haz). After rains these natural water tanks fill up with water and may be home to small insects, insect larvae and fairy shrimp.
A spring that flows year-round and a seasonally cascading waterfall await the visitor after a short, 0.3-mile hike to Lost Creek.
Icebox Canyon has a maintained trail which leads in for .8 mile; the end of Icebox Canyon is reached in another half mile by boulder hopping in the canyon bottom.
One of the most popular hiking trails is into Pine Creek Canyon. A two-mile round trip hike leads to the ruins of a historic homestead near a running creek, surrounded by large ponderosa pine trees and other water-loving vegetation.

Calico Basin Red Spring at Red Rock Canyon
Music by Stars of the Lid - Dungtitled (In A Major)
Calico Hills Loop with a Twist
This is a fun hike that has a little bit of everything. There's a fair ascent, some loose gravel, a little scrambling and even some bouldering.
Along the way we'll see just about every color and combination of colors that Calico has to offer.
This hike has a fair amount of elevation gain so plan for some work for your lungs.
Starting from the Red Springs picnic area we'll head out through the pass to the left of Kraft Mountain, down into the wash, up the wash, turn left (South) towards gateway to Sandstone Quarry. We'll stop there for a while for some views.
This is a Rick W hike and hopefully I or someone on the hike will remember how to take the little detour to the natural bridge.
From there we'll simply hike back along the Canyon side of the Calicos around the Southeast side of Calico, returning to Red Springs.
I recommend bringing some sort of food and/or snack. Water is essential.
If I don't know you, then please don't be offended if I ask to check your water supply. I just want to make sure everybody has enough before we go.
We'll meet at the Red Springs picnic area close to the trailhead at the Northwest side of the parking lot.
To get to Red Springs, take the Calico Basin turnoff, which is about 2 miles before the Red Rock Loop entrance. Follow the road down to the Red Springs Parking lot.

The last four minutes of climbing to the far summit of the White Rock area in Red Rock Canyon NV 3/20/2015. This summit has my favorite views of the canyon and the entire Las Vegas valley out of any other area in the park. A beautiful activity for the vernal equinox (:

The Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in Nevada is an area managed by the Bureau of Land Management as part of its National Landscape Conservation System, and protected as a National Conservation Area. It is located about 15 miles (24 km) west of Las Vegas, and is easily seen from the Las Vegas Strip.
The conservation area showcases a set of large red rock formations: a set of sandstone peaks and walls called the Keystone Thrust. The walls are up to 3,000 feet (910 m) high, making them a popular hiking and rock climbing destination. The highest point is La Madre Mountain, at 8,154 feet (2,485 m).
