Red Rock Canyon NCA Capacity Study Survey

Visitation at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, near Las Vegas, has been steadily increasing for years. These increases have led to visitor and vehicle management issues, especially around the main scenic loop drive, and can impact visitors’ recreational experiences as well as the area's natural and cultural resources.

The Great Basin Institute is helping Red Rock Canyon managers assess these issues and their potential impacts, and has developed a survey to get public feedback related to recreational experiences.  Your feedback on these issues is greatly appreciated, and will help in understanding trends in visitation and recreation at Red Rock Canyon.

There are six open-ended prompts/questions in this survey. You may provide as little or much detail in your responses as you prefer.

If you have any questions, please contact either Will (wrempel@thegreatbasininstitute.org) or Chad  (ckooistra@thegreatbasininstitute.org) with the Great Basin Institute.

Thank you for your time and insights!

Completed.

Who else has access to this survey?  Is it being shared among other user groups/the general public  and if so how?

We've just started sharing the survey, but plan to reach out to a range of groups involved in RRC (major recreation, conservation, education and naturalist groups,for example), and are going to ask them to share it either through their official social media pages or email lists.  

Our goal is to send it out to a good cross section of the general public that uses RRC, while also trying to keep track of where it is shared. If you have any ideas on groups that would be interested in sharing it, please let us know at the emails above!

Imo....GBI's(Great Basin Institute) record with the mtb community in the Vegas valley isn't the greatest(actually many  despise them)....I recall a bunch of trail work(water diversion bars) done by GBI in Cottonwood Valley a few years back that wasn't needed(in the locations they did it), done wrong and without any local user input. It took a few motivated locals to correct what work you guys did.......
