    Hiking

    Sandstone Quarry is the third pullout along the Scenic Loop Drive. Several popular hiking trails including Turtlehead Peak and Calico Tanks begin here. Along with panoramic views of the Calico Hills area, a historic quarry, you can frequently see rock climbers on the rock formations above you.

    Hiking

    You cannot access the site without a reservation - and there is a reason for this - the Sandstone Quarry is a stunningly beautiful rock which attracts a lot of interested people. I would recommend this to anyone who is nearby or visiting Las Vegas to drive the extra miles.

    Hiking

    Sandstone Quarry is one of the most popular stopping spots by tourists and locals. According to the history of the area there are several multi-ton blocks of sandstone abandoned when the third try at quarrying sandstone declared bankruptcy in 1912 and the quarry closed.
