Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance and do not disturb or hunt wildlife.
The Big Idea
Leave the Canyon Better Than You Found It
Observe the wildlife, enjoy the trails, gather around the fire, and explore the canyon—but please do so in a way that protects the land, the animals, and the other people sharing the park.

Animals

Fire
Watch Your Fire
Fires belong in designated fire rings and must never be left unattended.

Flora & Fauna
Take Pictures, not Plants
Enjoy the wildflowers, native plants, trees, rock formations, and wildlife without removing or damaging them.
Wildlife
Observe. Don't Disturb.
Red Rock Canyon is home to native wildlife. Seeing animals is part of the experience, but campers should allow them to remain wild.
Watch From a Distance
Observe wildlife without approaching, chasing,
feeding, or disturbing the animal.
Need an Animal Removed?
If an animal creates a problem at your campsite,
contact camp services rather than attempting to
remove it yourself.
No Hunting
Hunting is prohibited within Red Rock Canyon.
Permission
Special Permission Required
The following activities require special permission, license, or approval to use or participate in.
Campfire Safety
Never Leave a Fire Unattended
Campfires are part of the Sukkot experience, but even a small unattended fire can become dangerous very quickly.
Fires must remain inside designated fire rings.
Someone must attend the fire at all times.
Completely extinguish the fire before leaving.
Do not burn trash in fire rings.
Waste Disposal
Keep Waste Off the Ground
Proper disposal protects the canyon, wildlife, campsites, and water sources.
01
Waste Water
No Dumping
Do not dump grey water, black water, or wastewater onto the ground.
02
Trash
Don't Burn Trash
Fire rings are for campfires not garbage disposal. Put trash in the dumpsters.
03
Ashes
Dispose of Ashes
Do not throw charcoal or fireplace ashes onto the ground.
