The Red Spring Trailheads are located in Calico Basin, which is about 1.5 miles before the entrance to the Scenic Loop Road in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, about 25 minutes west of Las Vegas.

From town, drive out towards Red Rocks. From Charleston Blvd at Highway 215 (the western beltway) (Table 1, Site 0516), drive west on Charleston Blvd for 3.8 miles to Calico Basin Road (Site 520). The turnoff is about 1.5 miles before the Scenic Loop. Turn right onto Calico Basin Road and drive north, then west past houses and corrals, for about 1 mile to where the paved road makes a 90-degree bend to the right. At the bend, continue straight into the Red Spring Parking Area (Site 0464). Park here; this is the trailhead.

The Red Spring Parking area provides access to four trailheads. A large number of unmarked trails crisscross the area, providing access to the sandstone cliffs (West Trailhead and North Trailhead), several springs (North Trailhead), a boardwalk around a salt meadow (Boardwalk Trailhead), and trails leading south to the Visitor Center and the west side of the Calico Hills (South Trailhead).

Trails: Red Spring Boardwalk, Entrance to Red Spring Trail, Calico Hills Loop Trail, Slab Rift, and a variety of off-trail routes, and some rock climbing areas.
