Overview

Your desert adventure can begin on this easy but very scenic trail through a section of the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Bird Spring Pass begins at the Upper Duck Creek Detention Basin, a large water project for the Las Vegas valley, traveling along a dirt service road with memorable views of the red sandstone mountains. Around the midway point, up near the pass, you'll be treated to a spectacular view back down to the valley where you have just traveled. The trail connects with a couple of other trails that access some of the lesser-known areas within the Red Rock area.
