I always tell my friends who are doing Vegas trips that they HAVE to stop by here! 20 minutes from The Strip and soo beautiful!
After a weekend of typical Vegas activities, I dragged my friends here and we did a short hike in the Calico area. The rocks are so colorful and beautiful--as stunning as many national parks I've been to!
After some light hiking, we just stopped and hung out/climbed around on the rocks. It was such a nice day, definitely one of the highlights of our Vegas trip.
Be aware that the road is one way so you have to go through the entire loop to exit. It's a nice drive though.
I will definitely be back to explore more parts of the park.
