More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning light in Red Rock Canyon flakes off sandstone faces like paint peeling from a long-exposed wall. Engines idle, guides talk through tire pressure and lines of travel, and the first switchback already leans into the Mojave sky — the landscape daring you to go farther.

Air down for traction
Follow the guide’s instructions to lower tire pressure before rough sections — it improves grip and reduces punctures.
Secure loose gear
Stow cameras and water bottles in closed compartments; rock crawling tosses loose items quickly.
Hydrate and sun-protect
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water and high-SPF sunscreen; desert sun is intense even on cool mornings.
Motion-sickness readiness
If you get carsick, sit toward the center of the vehicle, look at the horizon, and take medication beforehand.
Closed-toe hiking shoes
Provide stable footing for short walks on rocky terrain and when entering/exiting Jeeps.
1–2 liters water bottle
Staying hydrated is essential in the Mojave heat, especially during physical exertion or sun exposure.
summer
Sunglasses and sunscreen
Protects against intense sun and reflected glare off pale sandstone surfaces.
spring
Light wind/dust shell
Keeps dust out during rock-crawling sections and adds a layer against desert wind.
