Bobby’s Red Rock Collection
15 Years of Red Rock Canyon on Film
For fifteen years, Bobby Wheat has carried his cameras from his home in Summerlin through Red Rock Canyon, returning in different seasons of life and light.
Here you’ll find Bobby’s complete (but always expanding) Red Rock archive along with a map of his image locations — color and black-and-white, traditional landscapes and modern abstractions, images made while climbing its sandstone walls, and moments exploring from the valley floor. A collection shaped by time, patience, and the simple act of paying attention to the wonder in our own Vegas backyard.
Red Rock Canyon
A Rare Perspective
Edition of 11 (1 Remaining)
Photographed on the summit of a sub peak of Juniper Peak, Magic Mountain offers an awe-inspiring view highlighting many of the most prominent features of the Red Rock Range. The summit of Rose Tower hundreds of feet below and the 1200 ft Aquarium Wall give way to the iconic Rainbow Wall and Rainbow Peak rising more than 2000 feet from the valley floor, with Mount Wilson - the tallest of the sandstone peaks - completing the distant left third of the composition.
“Climbing these walls has opened my eyes to a world that I didn’t know existed. Much like rock climbing, this image elicits a healthy fear and respect for the untamed grandeur and permanence of these mountains, and at the same time a sense of awe and peace from being immersed in such vast beauty. I can see these peaks from my home in Summerlin, and they never cease to inspire me. I will never take them for granted, and I wanted to share their story in a way that had never been done before.” - Bobby Wheat

An evening in early spring offers a quiet calm, and the bright lights come in the form of colors as old as time against the silhouette of the Spring Mountains.

I found and photographed this scene on medium-format film in late January while climbing in the Calico Basin area and loved the results so much that I felt the need to return to it with "The Beast" (My 4x5 Large-Format Film Camera) - despite the difficult location - in order to do the incredible detail in this scene justice. Between the approach hike and the trad climbing, getting the gear to this location was a pain in the a** (literally) but well worth it in the end.
The American Flag has been the subject in the work of many of the most iconic artist in modern history. As an extremely patriotic guy myself as well as a proud resident of Las Vegas, I am thrilled to have found my own rendition hidden among the high peaks of Red Rock Canyon. Live Inspired. - Bobby Wheat

An epic ending to a perfect spring day exploring and climbing in Black Velvet Canyon, Black Velvet captures the awe-inspiring natural beauty of Las Vegas as the setting sun breaks through an overcast sky over the sandstone giants of Red Rock Canyon.
A single exposure on Kodak E100 6x17cm Film, Bobby’s newest Red Rock Masterpiece features the entire Red Rock Range from a viewpoint near the mouth of Black Velvet Canyon with Mt. Wilson, Rainbow, and Bridge Mountain dominating the center of the composition.
“My first day out attempting to find a composition of Red Rock from its southern boundary was one for the books. After a jaunt into Black Velvet and sending a highball boulder I’ve wanted to try for a while, I was rewarded with a moment of splendor on the way home.” - Bobby Wheat

Roughly halfway through (and a short scramble off of) the 5.2-mile Kraft Mountain Loop Trail lies one of the most beautiful faces of rock in all of Red Rock Canyon.
A notoriously difficult climb with a gnarly landing on jagged talus, this 20 foot boulder is as striking visually as it is physically for the elite few strong enough to climb it. Here in the low light of January, the long shadows of winter highlight the dramatic texture of the sandstone face. Desert Lightning aptly describes one of the great natural works of art found in our Las Vegas backyard. Live Inspired.

Goodnight Moon is one of the most significant works in Bobby’s portfolio representing one of the “Original 25” pieces placed on view in the gallery at the grand opening in 2011. Without this and a few others to boost sales while Bobby built his portfolio, the Bobby Wheat Gallery would not have survived the first year.
Even in a hustle-and-bustle city like Vegas, solitude is just minutes away. These prominent peaks, known as the Wilson Cliffs, serve as a backdrop for the beautiful Las Vegas nature retreat, Red Rock Canyon, and they can be seen from nearly anywhere in the valley. Just a few miles from the edge of the city, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area lies on the eastern side of the Spring Mountains, the tallest range in southern Nevada. Frequent winter storms will deposit snow on the peaks and often vanish before reaching the valley. At sunrise, light and weather can yield a surreal combination.
This image is the product of an extremely rare desert coincidence. On the one day of the month when the moonset coincides with sunrise, a winter storm left a fresh dusting of snow on the hills and began to clear just as the first light of the morning set the mountains ablaze with brilliant hues of red and orange. The light reflected by the snow brings out the subtle detail in the shadows. The moon hovered above the clearing storm just long enough to allow me a few exposures with all of the elements in place. Seconds later, the moon descended into the heavenly pillow of clouds to rest.

Photographed on the Tiger Stripe Wall visible from the first pullout on the Red Rock Loop, Red Rock in Blue is a natural nod to the modern abstract expressionist painter, Gerhard Richter. This iconic climbing wall is one of the most beautiful features in Red Rock Canyon with nearly 200 vertical feet of pristine sandstone abstraction. Photographed on Film and then printed as a negative, Red Rock in Blue marks the first image from Red Rock Canyon in Bobby’s Signature Film Negatives Series.

Summit Sunrise is a look at our beloved Red Rock Canyon in extremely rare form. After camping on the summit of Mt. Wilson - the tallest of the iconic sandstone peaks in Red Rock Canyon just outside of Las Vegas - first light illuminates Rainbow and Bridge Mountain bringing warmth to a frigid February morning. This photograph represents the natural beauty of our home in the desert from uncharted territory - an unforgettable “top of the morning” experience looking down on the brilliantly banded cliffs recognizable from nearly anywhere in the Vegas Valley. These peaks are the exact same peaks featured from the valley floor in Bobby’s Goodnight Moon.

In the heart of Calico Basin lies one of Red Rock Canyon’s most formidable features: the Yin and Yang Wall. Standing at its base in February 2024, Bobby made a pact—he would not photograph the scene until he had successfully lead climbed the iconic, curving splitter crack that defines it.
What followed was a two-year masterclass in humility and perseverance in his Summerlin backyard. Through setbacks, injury, and months of solitary training, he returned in February 2026 to complete a clean lead ascent—finally capturing the wall he spent two years earning.
