First Visit Guide

What most outdoor and hiking programs expect. Confirm the details with Calico Tanks Trail before you go.

What to bring

  • More water than you think. A liter per person minimum, more from May through September, because out here heat ends hikes long before tired legs do.
  • Closed-toe shoes, hat, sunscreen, snacks
  • A downloaded or printed trail map. Cell coverage drops fast in the canyons.

Before you go

  • Check park hours and reservations. Red Rock's scenic drive uses timed entry part of the year.
  • Start early. By mid-morning in summer the trails are a hazard, not a workout.
  • Tell someone which trail you're taking.

The first visit

The easiest first outing is a ranger-led family program: short distances, shade breaks, and a guide who knows where the restrooms are.

For sensory-sensitive kids

Open trails are naturally calm. Pack ear protection anyway for windy overlooks, and pick out-and-back trails so your child always knows the way out is the way you came.
