Red Rock Canyon
Red Rock Canyon became world famous thanks to the movie “Jurassic Park”, in which it served as a beautiful setting. Unusual coloring of rocks and their bizarre shape attract here not only people from art, but also ordinary travelers. A walk among the rocks and cacti, breakfast under the shadow of the stone palace, whose colonnade impresses with its architectural completeness – the events are sure to be written in your diary of memories.

General Information
The red and white hues of the rocks are age-old sedimentary rocks, while the pink and black are volcanic formations from numerous volcanic eruptions that occurred in ancient times. In addition to the abundance of cacti, you will be impressed by the famous Joshua Tree. The plant got its name from the early Mormon settlers, who compared the intricately sprawling branches of the plant to the arms of Jesus from the Old Testament stretched out in ecstatic prophecy.
.Wildlife here, under the scorching sun, also does not give up its position – you must be careful not to crush the lizards, which do not mind posing for the camera, and soaring hawks diversify the mareva blue sky. In ancient times, according to scientists, even saber-toothed tigers, camels, horses and rhinos lived here. These are just a few of the attractions of Red Canyon.
