Las Vegas is home to the neon lights and the glitz of the strip. But nearly 30 miles west of that, you’ll find one of the most beautiful hiking areas in the state: Red Rock Canyon.

It attracts millions of visitors, looking to hike, climb, or bike. Some just want the mountains as a backdrop in their pictures. 

Last year, the park had record numbers. The big crowds caused temporary closures because it was full. 

Now, visitors have to navigate through construction on the 13-mile scenic drive.
