Ice Box Canyon

Red Rock Canyon

Ice Box Canyon takes you through a cool, shady box canyon with seasonal waterfalls. The narrow canyon rarely sees sunlight, and the cool water and air pouring down from the mountains keep it significantly cooler than the open desert. Cross the open desert to get there and scramble on boulders & loose rocks within the wash to get to the end of the canyon.

Red Rock Canyon NCA spans more than 195,000 acres and is visited by more than two million people each year for its world-class hiking, rock climbing and biking. The Cottonwood Valley Trail System is a network of trails located in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and provides opportunities to experience the best desert mountain biking in Southern Nevada.
