Red Rock Overlook

Red Rock Canyon Desert elopement
This photo was taken at the Overlook location. This is a favorite elopement location to choose for many reasons. It is easy to access because it is located directly off the side of State highway 159 as a dedication overlook. Even though tourists to drive through this area, we have  a permit to perform the ceremony at this location. For couples that want a more private spot, we walk up the path to the top of the hill at the overlook for a panoramic view of the valley and the red rocks in the distance.

To elope at this location requires a 8 minute walk on a plasticized boardwalk to get to a meadow.  The backdrop for the wedding is beautiful red rocks and a meadow.  You do hug the mountain at this location and it’s close in to red rocks. It’s a great option for the warmer months at the canyon especially as later at the sunset time frame it’s shaded from the harsh sun.
