Sandstone Quarry, Red Rock Canyon, NV
The Sandstone Quarry is the third parking area on the 13-Mile Scenic Drive, located 2.6 miles from the entrance kiosk. Besides being the trailhead for the Calico Tanks and Turtlehead Peak hikes, it is the location of the old Excelsior Stone Quarry which operated between 1905 and 1912. An easy 500-yard hike from the parking lot reveals several of the 10-ton blocks that were hauled to the newly incorporated town of Las Vegas. The quarry was abandoned due to the cost of transportation using a vehicle called the "Big Devil Wagon", which consumed about 400 gallons of crude oil a day. One wonders how much of Red Rock Canyon would be left today had this company been successful.
