The Nightmare Gulch has fewer red rock formations to offer than the southern part of the Red Rock Canyon State Park. However, the pilars and shapes are equally stunning. If you are in for an extended hike, take a loop along some remote dirt roads that are connected to the Nightmare Gulch.

Nightmare Gulch is a colorful & scenic must-see gorge and cross-country route in Red Rock State Park.

The route begins just half a mile north of the park entrance at a small exit on the east side of the highway.

From there you have a panoramic view of the southern Sierra Nevada.
