Keystone Thrust Hike

The Keystone Thrust Hike in Red Rock Canyon Nevada is a moderate 2.2 mile roundtrip hike to the most significant geological feature in the park, the Keystone fault. You can put one foot on each side of the fault that is pushing the older rocks over the younger rocks, a phenomenon that doesn't often happen. The hike also offers sweeping views of the valley, desert, & mountains.

While I enjoyed the hike, there are other, more exciting hikes within the park. Unless you’re a geology nerd, then it’s the hike for you.

Don’t become another statistic: Bring plenty of water and make sure you’re careful as there are plenty of places to plummet to your death.
