Introduction
Directions
You can find it on google maps at http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=vancouver,+bc&daddr=calico+basin+road,+las+vegas&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=59.856937,85.078125&ie=UTF8&z=5&om=1
It is highly recommended that the driver or navigator prints a copy of the directions. The drive takes a little over 25 hours so driving in shifts is a good idea.
An alternative route that has been considered and should be decided on with your car is driving south to California and spending a day or two in Yosemite before continuing onto Red Rocks.

Bring American money and a passport. You will get hosed on the exchange rate if you try and use a debit card. Bring your climbing gear, camping gear (reasonably warm), and a guide book (at least a photo copy).
