Lower White Rock Trailhead is located along the Scenic Loop Road in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, about 1 hour west of Las Vegas.

From town, drive out to Red Rocks. From West Charleston Blvd at the Scenic Loop Road (Table 1, Site 0519), turn right and drive north for 0.2 miles to the entrance station (Site 0855). Pay the fee, then drive around the one-way Scenic Loop Road for almost 6 miles to White Rock Road (Site 0525). Turn right onto White Rock Road and drive north for 20 yards to the dirt parking lot on the left. Park here; this is the trailhead.

White Rock Road is paved for the first 100 feet or so, but the rest is unpaved and a bit rough, so some people park here at the lower parking lot and walk up the road to Upper White Rock Trailhead, and then head into wild places from there.

Lower White Rock Trailhead provides access to hikes in the White Rock Hills area, including access to a desert spring, the Keystone Thrust, a number of off-trail hikes, and several miles of moderate to difficult hiking.

Trails: White Rock Loop Trail, White Rock Spring Trail, Keystone Thrust Trail, Grand Circle Trail, La Madre Mountain, Hogback Ridge Summit.
