If you head west out of Las Vegas on Charleston Boulevard, 5 miles past the Red Rock Canyon Visitor's Center, the entrance to Spring Mountain Ranch State Park will be on the right. Watch for the signs.

You can also enter the canyon area from the south by taking Interstate 15 south to State Route 160, turn right onto State Route 159, go past Blue Diamond. You will pass Bonnie Springs and 1 mile further will be the entrance to Spring Mountain Ranch State Park on your left.
