NEW VISITOR CENTER
Greetings!
The finishing touches are being added to the new Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center. The Center, scheduled to open in September, features an awe-inspiring view of the Calico Hills, an amphitheater, educational information, classroom, exhibit space and a fabulous new gift and book store, Elements.
The outdoor exhibits, with the themes of Earth, Fire, Water and Wind, are still under construction with an estimated completion date of March - April 2010.
Updates will be posted via the Desert Trumpet and the Friends of Red Rock Canyon Update.
