Feb 11, 2021 — Red Benchmark is a cute little summit overlooking Summerlin, just on the border of Red Rock Canyon. It's across the street from the Red Rock Canyon tourist welcome sign and the hike begins just west of a very much active shooting range, so don't expect any quiet for the first bit. Austin and I parked on the side of the road and headed south along the obvious ridgeline, away from the bustle of Blue Diamond road. A social social trail keeps the first half mile or so particularly easy, but that social trail eventually pretty much faded away. Still easy-going along the ridgeline, we made quick progress toward the summit. We encountered a short Class 2 section about halfway up, otherwise it's mostly just easy grassy terrain. The views toward Las Vegas are nice.
