Abstract
The Red Rocks Escarpment Instant Study area in Clark County, Nevada, is 2 mi (32 km) west of Las Vegas and covers about 31,000 acres (12,500 ha) of the rugged Sandstone Bluffs area in the Spring Mountains (fig. 1). It includes the crest of the range, which is slightly higher than 7,200 ft (2,190 m), the Sandstone Bluffs east of the crest where steep cliffs as high as 2,500 ft (760 m) occur, and part of the gently sloping western range front. The Instant Study area (fig. 2) is within land administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
