Scooter Tour Red Rock Canyon from Las Vegas: 13-Mile Loop

Ride a scooter through Red Rock Canyon instead of watching it from a car window.

A scooter tour of Red Rock Canyon departing from Las Vegas Strip hotels, where you ride a 13-mile one-way loop at 25 mph with a professional guide who teaches you the area's geology, wildlife and history. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, along with a short instruction session before you ride. The tour takes 4 hours total. You must have a valid driver's license, be at least 18 years old, ride bicycles confidently, and weigh no more than 250 lbs.

The experience

The day starts with a free shuttle from your Las Vegas Strip hotel to Red Rock Canyon. The operator picks you up an hour before the tour time. Once you arrive, an experienced guide gives you a short lesson on scooter handling. If you ride bicycles, you'll be riding like a pro within minutes. Then you head out onto the 13-mile loop, a wide one-way route with a 25 mph speed limit that lets you feel the wind without the pressure of faster traffic.

The loop itself is the point: you're not stopping at a dozen overlooks or following a packed itinerary. Instead, you ride through the canyon at your own pace within the group, with plenty of time to pull over and take photos of the rock formations. Your guide shares the area's history, geology and wildlife as you go, so you're learning while you move. The 13-mile stretch gives you the full landscape: the natural beauty without the windshield between you and it.

What you need to know before booking: you must have a valid driver's license, be at least 18 years old, and ride a bicycle confidently on public roads. The scooter has a 250-pound weight limit and requires a minimum height of 5'2". The tour is not recommended for people with poor cardiovascular health, spinal injuries, or pregnancy. You'll sign a release form on tour day, and the guide will ask for your best contact number (not a home phone) when you arrive.

What's the 13-mile loop at Red Rock Canyon actually like to ride?

The loop is one-way and wide, with a 25 mph speed limit, so it's built for scooter riding rather than car traffic. You ride through the canyon at that pace with your guide, stopping when you want to photograph the rock formations and learn about the area's geology and wildlife.

Do I need to know how to ride a scooter before I book?

No, the tour includes a short lesson from experienced professionals before you ride. If you ride bicycles, you'll pick up scooter handling in minutes. You do need to be confident riding a two-wheeled bicycle on public roads and have a valid driver's license.

The tour includes a free shuttle service from select Las Vegas Strip hotels, departing one hour before the listed tour time. You'll be driven to Red Rock Canyon, and the same shuttle brings you back to your hotel after the ride.

What's included in the 4-hour tour?

The tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off, a professional guide, bottled water, a helmet, and Red Rock Canyon National Park fees. You provide your own valid driver's license and sign a release form on tour day.
