Get away from the bars and the tables to Red Rock Canyon, 15 miles west of town. It's a scenic loop off the main road and through extraordinary rock formations and wild cactus gardens.

Popular with masochistic cyclists, the one way road runs for 13 miles, climbing steeply for the first five and then undulating across the top of the canyon and back to the main road.

There are a number of places to park and walk. The rock formations are well known in climbing circles and attract technical climbers from all over the world.

Rent a car and drive west on Charleston Blvd. The turning for the visitors centre and the Canyon itself are well sign posted, off to the right of the road.
