The 13-mile scenic drive at Red Rock Canyon is open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., new hours that started April 1.

This change happens yearly as days become longer and sunset is later in the day, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management said.

The visitors center will continue to be open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The area includes a LEED-certified visitor center, 13-Mile Scenic Drive, miles of hiking trails, picnic areas, rock climbing, horseback riding, mountain biking, road biking, picnic areas, nature observing and the Red Spring Interpretive Boardwalk.
