On this kid friendly and easy hike in Red Rock Canyon, you can see pictographs, desert life, towering views, and a hidden seasonal waterfall (which can be seen December-April) in the canyon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSCN1573.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"1275\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/north-america\/united-states\/day-trip-red-rock-canyon-vegas\/attachment\/dscn1573\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSCN1573.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3000,4000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSCN1573\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSCN1573-768x1024.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSCN1573-768x1024.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSCN1573-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Biking &amp; Hiking at the Red Rock Canyon\" class=\"wp-image-1275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSCN1573-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSCN1573-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSCN1573-15x20.jpg 15w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSCN1573-600x800.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a whole day to spend at the Red Rock Canyons you can embark on <strong>The Grand Circle Loop<\/strong>.
