You’ve probably read about it in National Geographic, or seen it in a nature show.
Now it’s time to see it in person.
Petrified wood.
When trees are buried in mud and left unexposed for many years, they will sometimes turn into rock-hard fossils. In rare cases, entire logs will fossilize, retaining their tree-like appearance.
On our Red Rock Canyon Tour, we take our guests to one of the few places on earth that has petrified logs.
Petrified wood is so rare that it seems unnatural, making it a big reason for explorers to visit Red Rock Canyon.
While petrified wood is reason enough to visit, the red stone canyon walls, Native American petroglyphs, and artifacts of past civilizations make Red Rock Canyon Tours the highlight experience of many who find themselves in Vegas.
Red Rock Canyon is just a short 15 miles from Las Vegas, and hosts many outdoor enthusiasts who want to have an unforgettable experience. If you like taking pictures, you are welcome to take all the photos you want. The same cannot be said for many of the shows and concerts in downtown Vegas.
Our Red Rock Canyon Tours will be the highlight of your Vegas trip. They are also your best alternative for clean family fun. If you can only schedule one outdoor event for your family or group, consider exploring Red Rock Canyon with us.
