About this spot

Great Red Roof Area

The Great Red Roof Area is a unique and must-visit location in the Las Vegas Wash watershed of Nevada. It is a 2.4-mile stretch that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area. The area is named after a large red roof that can be seen from the road, which was previously a storage facility for hazardous materials. However, the site has since been cleaned up, and it is now an excellent spot for outdoor activities such as hiking and biking.

One of the unique things visitors can see in the Great Red Roof Area is the variety of wildlife that inhabits the area. The wash supports a diverse range of flora and fauna, including several endangered species such as the Mojave desert tortoise, desert bighorn sheep, and the Las Vegas bearpoppy. Visitors may also see several species of birds, including the American kestrel, red-tailed hawk, and great horned owl. The area is also rich in history with ancient petroglyphs and evidence of early human habitation, making it an excellent destination for history enthusiasts. Overall, the Great Red Roof Area is an incredible place to visit that offers stunning views, unique wildlife sightings, and rich history.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
