The Calico Tanks Trail in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is a 2.5 mile trail full of beauty. The guide lists this as a trail with a “Moderate” rating, defined as “Uphill sections include up to 1,000 feet of elevation gain; single digit mileage; uneven terrain and some rock scrambling.” The rating board must be crazy, because at times I felt like a full fledged rock climber while working my way to the top. Don’t worry – the trip is worthy of every bit of “rock scrambling” that you must endure. 🙂
