LAS VEGAS – Whether you drive, bike, run or walk, you may visit the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area for free on Presidents’ Day.
The Bureau of Land Management, in conjunction with other agencies within the Department of the Interior, will waive amenity-related fees for Presidents’ Day, February 19.
Other fees, such as overnight camping and group day use, will remain in effect.
As a reminder, amenity fees for the 13-mile scenic drive and the campground at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area will increase February 20. The fee increase will put prices at $15 for cars, $10 for motorcycles, $5 for bicycles and pedestrians, $20 for individual campsites, $10 for walk-in campsites and $60 for group campsites. The fee for a Red Rock Canyon Annual Support Pass will not increase and remain at $30 per year. A large section of the National Conservation Area will still be accessible for hiking, and other recreational activities, free of charge.
