*Timed Reservations are required for vehicle entry to the Scenic Loop between 8am-5pm from October 1 through May 31 *
You can only access Icebox canyon from the scenic loop.
Timed Reservations are available online, along with entry passes, and visitors with an annual or lifetime pass can enter their pass number at checkout.
The trail takes you through a cool, shady box canyon with seasonal waterfalls (December-April) in the heart of Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
The narrow canyon rarely sees sunlight, and the cool water and air pouring down from the mountains keep it significantly cooler than the open desert.
But you will have to cross the open desert to get there and scramble on boulders & loose rocks within the wash to get to the end of the canyon.
Fairly small parking lot with 20 spots.
