Aerial Drone View of Red Rock Canyon from Turtlehead Peak with Rain Approaching

We visited Red Rock Canyon in Nevada a couple of weeks ago. It's located just west of Las Vegas, an easy 40 minute drive from downtown. While the park has a few areas restricted from flying a drone over, they were fairly friendly to deal with.

This video was taken around the 3 or 4 mile marker, on the 13 mile Scenic Loop. It costs $15 per carload to access the visitors center and drive the loop. You can only stop in designated outlook areas and the traffic is one-way only.

Some of the peaks near this scenic outlook parking area rose more than 1,200ft above the parking lot altitude. A little known fact is that drones (in the USA) are limited to flying no higher than 400 AGL, which means 400ft Above Ground Level. Since the drone was flying in near the peaks, this meant that we could legally keep going higher and higher, as long as we were within 400ft distance from the nearby peaks. We stopped at 750 feet for safety reasons and to maintain visual line of sight with the drone.
