This picnic area with a hiking trail behind it is stunning! It looks just like those awesome red rocks you see in Valley of Fire, but its located in Lake Mead. There is even a mini elephant rock here like there is at Valley of Fire too. The picnic areas have shade and BBQ pits, and some space in between each one. Nice. There is a bathroom here as well and a decent amount of parking. The hiking trail takes you around the different rock formations and is pretty easy. The best part about it is the views and seeing all the neat formations. Definitely a nice stop or even hangout spot for a while. read more

We really like this place. It is so versatile for entry level and intermediate level hikers. There are some nice areas with shaded picnic tables where you can stop and have a bite to eat and then decide who wants to go and do a little hiking and who wants to stay back and chill at the picnic table under the shade. Last time we were there, they had a wedding and some really gorgeous photos . read more

Amazing trail for an easy hike! Just off of Northshore Road, immediately on the right side. Redstone Dune Trail is part of Lake Mead National Park, entrance fee is $25 for 7 days or $80 for the yearly pass. The parking lot is decent size, paved! There are restrooms in the parking area. Also, multiple picnic tables with covers which are very useful especially in the summer months! At the picnic area, there are multiple bbq grills, too. The scenery is very beautiful here! The red stones are very distinct, almost cave like! I believe it was named "Red Stone Apartments" because you can find multiple caves up and down all over in the red stones! It is highly recommended that do not poke your hands and feet into dark shaded places! Beware of insects and snakes! The trail surface is natural rock and in a few places, sand. The grade is generally easy but sometimes moderate. Follow the half-mile loop trail through these ancient red rocks that were desert sand dunes when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. I never get bored with the sight! read more

Came here on New Year's Eve for a nice little hike to finish off the year. It has a decent sized parking lot with a bathroom available. The trail isn't really well marked but it does have some pretty red rock views. There are also a few picnic areas with grills (bring charcoal). The area itself is pretty rural with less traffic than other parts of Lake Mead. We actually passed 3 wild mustangs literally on the side of the road which is the closest I've ever seen them. Overall, I really recommend this for a quick little outdoor adventure. There are a couple more hikes nearby too, if you want to spend even more time outdoors. This is a fee area though so be prepared. read more

Loved this gorgeous little outcropping of red rocks in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The trail is short but there's so much more to explore other than the trail. Just be mindful that you'll have no cell service out there. read more

What a cool find we had today! This place is just an hour away from the city and is worth the trip. You'll know your there as you start seeing the bright red definitely something to see great views and photo opportunities. There are tables for if you want to take a seat or have a snack or even lunch (I did notice a grill ). The weather was perfect sunny but not crazy hot saw a couple of lizards. Definitely take comfy shoes and fresh clothes and unfortunately there was alot of HUGE flys at the entrance by the trash and its like the followed us thru out the trail but hey I guess part of the nature experience. Definitely will explore more trails around this area ,the lake mead week pass was $25 but you also have the option to get a yearly pass for $40 if you want to explore the different trails and bays. read more

I am not sure I would classify this is a 'hike', but the Redstone Dunes are a very fun area to explore if you are an appreciator of the beautiful scenery that surrounds Las Vegas. Redstone Dune Hike is within the Lake Mead Recreational Area, which you will need to pay an admission fee to enter. The trailhead is located at mile marker 27 along Northshore Road. There is a small paved parking area, restrooms, and a few covered picnic areas, but no drinking water is available so come prepared. The 'hike' is a relatively flat, half mile loop that circles the beautiful red sandstone that will remind fans of Red Rock Canyon of the Calico Hills. There are educational signs located along the trail. Personally, I find myself engaging in rock scrambling at Redstone more than I walk along the trail. It's very easy to access the rocks, not too difficult to reach the top of many of the monoliths, and the views are fantastic. If you want to experience some beautiful Southern Nevada scenery but don't really want to deal with the crowds that are sometimes found in Red Rock Canyon, the Redstone Dunes are a nice (albeit smaller) alternative.

This was my favorite hike in Lake Mead National Park. There is a parking lot but, slow down when you get close because we almost missed the turn off. The trail will start out being well worn in to sort of choose your own adventure style. We didn't do the entire loop but, we hiked up to the higher rock formations, took pictures, enjoyed the view and met an awesome family that is traveling the country and homeschooling their kids for a year. The rock formations are beautiful and it's very easy to climb up on areas at the beginning of the trail. Climb up and look towards the parking lot area to take in the mountain and valley views. It's absolutely breathtaking. Make sure you are paying attention on the trial because there is critters of all shapes and sizes. Bug spray is a really good idea and don't stick your finger into any dark holes or cracks. This area is dog friendly and I would recommend tennis shoes at the very least and please make sure you bring enough water because there isn't any water access provided here. There are also picnic areas with covered tables and garbage cans. Make sure you pick up after yourself. read more

Located in Lake Mead National Park. We came here today to hike on a beautiful day. The area is between gray and brown mountains in the Pinto Valley Wilderness. The abundance of huge red rocks is off Northshore Road at mile marker 27 in the Overton Arm. Redstone features sandstone, limestone, volcanic rock, and a half-mile trail that features more than 200 million years of geology that's waiting to be discovered by more tourists and locals :) The flame-red rocks offer a stunning view while hiking or just following the easy trail around the red rocks. It is easily reach as you park on the parking lot of Redstone picnic area. It is only 1.1 easy miles but you can scramble and explore and spent hours there. Similar to the Geology in Valley of Fire, this place is my playground. Make sure you take plenty of water! And sunscreen and wear a hat. Follow the Park's rule and explore. read more
