LAS VEGAS – The Bureau of Land Management is seeking comment on the Draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment for Special Recreation Permits Management in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, located approximately 15 miles west of the downtown Las Vegas. The plan would add new commercial, competitive, and organized group uses to the available opportunities for permits in Red Rock Canyon, and allow commercial, competitive, and organized group use on designated road, trail or developed recreation sites within the Conservation Area. The public will be able to provide comments on the document during a 30-day period starting today and closing August 18, 2025.

Comments that would be the most helpful would:

  • Raise an issue or concern regarding public land resources

Comments submitted by August 18, 2025, will be most helpful in development of the Final Environmental Assessment.  All comments received will be considered and evaluated for preparation of this document.
