About this adventure

The Red Spring Boardwalk at Calico Basin, located on the outskirts of Red Rock Canyon west of Summerlin, is a representative accessible family outdoor nature trail in the greater Las Vegas area. The approximately half-mile elevated ecological boardwalk is surrounded by red sandstone cliffs and natural, continuously flowing desert springs. Children can walk along the flat boardwalk to observe wild aspen groves, drought-tolerant wetland vegetation, and occasional desert bighorn sheep and ground squirrels. The entire boardwalk is very stable and wide, allowing all types of strollers to pass through without obstacles. The trailhead has paved restrooms and a folding baby changing table, with shaded picnic tables scattered by the spring. Importantly, the Red Spring Boardwalk does not require reservations for the 13-mile scenic loop inside Red Rock Canyon, avoiding queuing, making it an excellent place for families to embrace wilderness nature on weekends.
