Cottonwood Valley is a very popular off-road recreation area just outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. Routes to Goodsprings, Blue Diamond, Mountain Springs, and many other small OHV-friendly communities can be found in this trail network. The valley offers beautiful views of Red Rock Canyon's sweeping sandstone cliffs. The area features a variety of trails of different difficulties, all surrounded by historic sites and native Mojave Desert flora and fauna. Cellphone service is intermittent due to tall hills and mountain ranges. OHV Access is only for approved roads and trails south of the main Red Rock Conservation Area.
Directions
From downtown Las Vegas to Cottonwood Valley:
- Take Blue Diamond Rd./State Route 160 West for 19 miles.
- Parking can be found in several pullouts on the left (South) side.
