If you're seeking a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas, look no further than Red Rock Canyon. Situated about 15 miles west of the city in the easternmost part of the Mojave Desert, this area is home to the Keystone Thrust, also known as Wilson Cliffs, a massive red rock formation with sandstone peaks and walls that can reach 3,000 feet high. It's an ideal destination for outdoor activities such as hiking, rock climbing, bicycling, and camping. Red Rock Canyon offers a 13-mile, one-way, scenic drive with plenty of options for hiking and trails and opportunities to learn about plants and wildlife, geology, camping, cultural resources, and more. The Visitor Center is the perfect place to start your exploration, offering information and interpretation about the recreation opportunities available.

The Las Vegas Book Festival is the ultimate celebration of the written, spoken, and illustrated word, and it's happening in Nevada - the state's most significant literary event.
