Trail heads north, from Sandstone Quarry, and meets Turtlehead Peak Trail. Trail runs up a side canyon and rock terraces finally ending at a large natural water tank. Difficulty: moderately strenuous (rock scrambling and route finding skills recommended). Distance: 2.5 miles round trip.

Distance 2.2 miles; Average time: 2hrs; Difficulty: MODERATE – STRENUOUS This scurry over jumbled sandstone leads to a hidden water pocket and a great view of Las Vegas. Calico Tanks is a great trip for families or those wanting a relatively short introduction to Red Rock Canyon, because this hike combines elements of the prehistory, history, geology, beauty, and fun that makes Red Rock famous.
