Redrocks feature often in place names of Southwest USA - New Mexico, Arizona and California each have a RedRock State Park and there are several similarly named towns in these and other states.
Nevada has at least three RedRockCanyons; two are in sections of the Toiyabe National Forest near the centre of the state while by far the most well-known is location is along the east side of the Spring Mountains - one of the ranges of hills that surround most sides of Las Vegas.
One elevated viewpoint (RedRock Vista) affords the best overall view of the cliffs, while for closer access there is a 13 mile one-way scenic drive, within the NCA boundaries.
'RedRock' as it is known to the people who actually live in Las Vegas, is so called because of the striking red colored sandstone formations found throughout this small valley.
The redsandstone that distinguishes it is part of the same geologic formation, the Navaho Formation, found in the Valley of Fire, Zion National Park and throughout the Southwest United States and Southern Nevada.
The contrast of the redsandstone layered through the gray limestone is impressive against the sheer cliff faces of - as high as - 600 meters.
