This wide canyon is popular with off-roading vehicles, but also a great spot for hiking. There are some stops along the way that echo the old mining operations in the area. It can get dangerously hot during the summer, so tackle this area in winter or on cool days.

It's a battle on the way up, and a rollercoaster on the way down. Either way you'll get your money's worth with this section of road. There's a number of pullouts to stop and take in the view and have a drink of water.

Located along Highway 395, the Red Cliffs Natural Preserve with its impressive Red Rock Columns is worth a stopp. You can admire the rock formations that were carved by erosion and take a short hike deeper into the fascinating landscape. There is a pit toilet at the trailhead.

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.

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.
