I think the only reason that I am reviewing this is because it is a part of my life almost every day. I am actually privileged enough to drive this beautiful route every day to work. The road that starts from Blue Diamond RD and dumps you into Summerlin, is the most amazing stretch of road in Las Vegas.
The "Red Rock Loop" is something you should take the time to see no matter if you are a local or tourist. If you are into hiking, biking, rock climbing, bouldering, photography, (...and the list goes on) this place is right up your alley.
*If you are really into rock climbing, the post from "noriko n. Bishop, CA" is spot on!
The Visitor Center is great for kids. It is very educational and schools often take field trips out there.
I guess I'm partial to this area of town because it has been such a staple in my life since I moved here. Many good times and breath taking scenery. Trust me you won't believe your eyes!
Cheers
