Red Spring Trailhead is located in Calico Basin, which is about 1.5 miles before the beginning of the Scenic Loop Road in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, about 30 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 entrance to the Scenic Loop. Turn right onto Calico Basin Road and drive north, then west, for about 1 mile to where the paved road makes a 90-degree bend to the right.

From the bend, continue straight into the Red Spring Parking Area (Site 0464). Park here; this is the trailhead.

The Red Spring Trailhead provides access to hikes in the Calico Basin area. A large number of unmarked trails crisscross the area, providing access to the sandstone cliffs, several springs, a boardwalk around a salt meadow, and several miles of relatively flat walking.
