Upper 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 at 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 to White Rock Road (Site 0525), which is at Mile Marker 6. Turn right onto White Rock Road and drive north for 0.5 miles to the end of the road (Site 0404). White Rock Road is paved for the first 100 feet or so, but the rest is unpaved and always a bit rough; just drive slowly and you will get there soon enough. There is an outhouse at the end of the road. Park here; this is the trailhead.
