Red Rock Canyon

Red Rock Canyon is a location that serves as a refuge to the Great Khans It is located in the northwest of the Mojave Wasteland, west of Chance's map.

Background
Before the Great War, the area was a preserved area known as the "Southwest Commonwealth Conservation Area." Remnants of pre-War campsites and ancient petroglyphs still dot the area even though it has been completely dominated by the Great Khans, who have added their own artwork to the canyon walls. The Great Khans have camps and outposts spread throughout the area, concentrated in the area closest to the distinguishable red rocks. The Great Khans relocated here after the Bitter Springs Massacre, where the NCR killed a large number of non-combatants. The Great Khans currently focus on rebuilding and growing their chem trade enterprise.

Layout
While the canyon has three entrances, it is most accessible from the east, by following Nevada 159 west from Whittaker farmstead or Poseidon gas station. The widest entrance can be found heading north from Spring Mt. Ranch State Park. A motorcycle accident will be seen when approaching from this direction.

Red Rock Canyon consists of several tents surrounding a central arena where the Great Khans perform their indoctrination ritual. There is also a longhouse where their leader Papa Khan holds court. To the northwest is a steep pass, starting from a small pond of clean water, that leads past a cazador nest swarming with cazadores in the direction of the Remnants bunker. Slightly to the northwest is the Red Rock drug lab, where the Great Khans Jack and Diane manufacture and prepare chems for shipment.
