Red Rock Canyon entrance closed due to heavy traffic
Red Rock Canyon’s entrance is temporarily closed Saturday afternoon because of heavy traffic.
“We’re closed temporarily until traffic thins out,” according to a 1:15 p.m. post on Red Rock Canyon’s Twitter page. “Rock Canyon is a GREAT place to bring family & friends over the holidays. Unfortunately that means we experience capacity issues. Want to beat the rush & avoid closures? Come for breakfast or a pre-lunch hike!”
An employee who answered the phone at Red Rock Canyon said closures typically last for an hour to 1½ hours, but that law enforcement would decide when the entrance gates will reopen.
