Sandstone Quarry

The Sandstone Quarry Hiking Area in Red Rock Canyon in Nevada in the American Southwest is a great way to spend some time wandering the large sandstone features, especially if there weren't enough parking spaces at the Calico Hills. The Quarry has great views of the Hills, the Mountains, and Turtlehead Peak. There may be water, especially at the Calico Tanks. That Calico Tanks hike is 2.5 miles and takes around 2 hours. From the trail you can see “sweeping views of the Las Vegas valley.”

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.
