It’s winter break! With many families enjoying time off, now is the perfect time to explore the breathtaking beauty of Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. The cool, crisp air and stunning desert views make for an unforgettable outdoor adventure!

While the temperatures are mild compared to summer, desert weather can change fast. Here are a few essential tips to keep your winter hikes safe and enjoyable:

Layer Up: 🧤🧥 Wear multiple layers of clothing that you can easily add or remove. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer and include a waterproof/windproof outer layer.

Check the Weather & Road Conditions: ☁️🛣️ Always know the forecast before you go, especially for ice, wind, or snow at higher elevations. Check the Red Rock Scenic Drive hours, as they change with the season.

Stay Hydrated: 💧 Even in cold weather, your body needs plenty of water. Bring more than you think you’ll need!

Wear Sun Protection: ☀️🕶️ The sun’s rays are still strong, even when it's chilly. Wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat.

Tell Someone: 📱🗺️ Let a friend or family member know your exact route and expected return time.

Enjoy your time in the canyon, and remember to always Leave No Trace!
