Las Vegas: Red Rock Sign, Mojave and 7 Magic Mountains Tour

The most well-known desert in the United States is the California Mojave Desert.
Red Rock Canyon is plainly seen from the Las Vegas Strip and is located in Clark County, Nevada, approximately 15 miles west of Las Vegas (pickup begins at 7 AM). The Keystone Thrust, a group of sandstone peaks and walls, is one of the huge red rock formations that can be seen in the protected area. The 3,000-foot-tall walls are a well-liked location for rock climbing and trekking. At 8,154 feet, La Madre Mountain is the park's highest peak.

State Route 159 passes through an unnamed but often visited valley, which is popularly (but incorrectly) called Red Rock Canyon. To the west of SR 159 is a huge rock wall known as the Wilson Cliffs or Keystone Thrust.

Seven Magic Mountains, a massive site-specific public art piece by internationally recognized Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone, is situated close to Jean Dry Lake and Interstate 15, about ten miles south of Las Vegas, Nevada. Seven Magic Mountains, which interrupt the Mojave with a poetic explosion of form and color, is a creative statement of human presence in the desert. It is made up of seven towers of multicolored, stacked stones that are more than thirty feet high.

The Nevada Museum of Art and Art Production Fund developed Seven Magic Mountains. Originally slated to run for two years, the exhibition began on May 11, 2016. Artist Ugo Rondinone has stated that he would want to see the piece remain on display at its current location because of its extraordinary success since its debut.
