Red Rock Canyon requires a reservation to get in between October 1st and May 31st, for entry between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. For a timed entry reservation click here. 

Since the Scenic Drive portion of the tour is a one-way loop, you cannot backtrack if you pass a stop along the route. So if you skip a stop, or want to revisit a stop later in the day,  you'd have to make another reservation (if one is still available) in order to go back around the Scenic Drive to reach it.

If you are entering Red Rock Canyon between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m., you do not need a reservation. Nor do you need a reservation between June 1st and September 30th.

Yes! Feel free to join the tour along the route. Just make sure that you follow the numbers in chronological order from where you are starting from.  If you don’t begin at one of the tour starting points you’ll miss a few stories, but you’ll still have a great experience. 

No. This tour can only be done in one direction.
