Trade the Strip for sun-washed sandstone on a three-wheeled scooter car tour that winds a 13-mile loop through Red Rock Canyon. With hotel pickup, guided stops, and the freedom to explore short trails, this is a fast, scenic way to see the Mojave high desert.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun is a flat coin above the desert when your guide hands over the keys and points down the road. You slip into a three-wheeled scooter car — a narrow, open-frame vehicle that feels equal parts go-kart and dune rover — and the Strip’s neon hum falls away behind you. The road narrows into the Red Rock Scenic Drive, a 13-mile loop that arcs through cliffs of aztec sandstone, scrubby sagebrush, and sudden pockets of Joshua trees that lean into the wind as if eavesdropping.

Hydrate before you go
Desert sun and wind dehydrate quickly; drink water before pickup and bring a refillable bottle even though bottled water is provided.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Bring high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and sunglasses — shade is scarce along the loop.
Wear closed-toe shoes
If you want to step onto short trails at pullouts, closed-toe shoes protect against sharp rock and brittle vegetation.
Mind wildlife and weight limits
Do not feed or approach wild burros and respect the vehicle weight and height limits listed by the operator.
Sunglasses
Cut glare off sandstone and make driving more comfortable in bright light.
