Red Rock Canyon is a location that serves as a refuge to the Great Khans, in the north-west of the Mojave Wasteland, west of Chance's map. Before the Great War, the area was reserved as a "Southwest Commonwealth Conservation Area".

BackgroundEdit

Pre-War, Red Rock Canyon was a popular tourist attraction. Remnants of Pre-War campsites and ancient petroglyphs still dot the area even though it has been completely dominated by the Great Khans. The Great Khans have their camps and outposts spread throughout the area, but most are in one area near the red rocks. The Great Khans relocated here after the Bitter Springs Massacre, where the NCR killed a large number of non-combatants during an otherwise normal skirmish between the two groups. Today, the Great Khans while away their time, dreaming of past glories while resorting to petty drug dealing and battles by proxy (the Fiends) with the NCR.^[1]

LayoutEdit

Red Rock Canyon consists of several gers, or yurts, surrounding a central arena where the Great Khans perform their initiation ritual. There is also a longhouse where Papa Khan, their leader, holds court. To the northwest is a steep pass, starting from a small pond of clean water, that leads to a cazador nest and the remnants bunker. There are also a lot of cazadores in the pass itself.

Slightly to the northwest is the Red Rock Drug Lab, where the Great Khans Jack and Diane manufacture and sell drugs.

While the canyon has three entrances, it is most accessible from the east. To get there, follow the road west from Whittaker Farmstead, or Poseidon gas station. It can be found by starting at the Remnants bunker and heading south and a little west or north from Spring Mt. Ranch State Park. Both secondary approaches are tight canyons full of cazadors.

NotesEdit

• When Boone is a companion, he may cause the Great Khans to turn hostile.
• Sometimes a cazador will spawn in the initiation circle, it will attack and most likely kill the nearest Great Khan.
• While the western exit from the canyon may seem a one-way road due to the sheer drop on the Red Rock Canyon side, it it possible to bypass the drop and leave the canyon that way. Near the mouth of the other (southern) canyon entrance, there is a ridge that will end above a point just on the other side of the drop. This ridge is easily traversable. The drop beyond that is a little more difficult, however, and may require some work. There are also several cazadores lurking just above this area.

AppearancesEdit

Red Rock Canyon appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenesEdit

Red Rock Canyon is an actual location near Las Vegas, Nevada. It is famous for its vivid red rock formations, including a thrust fault that forms a bright red line between two layers of gray rock (also depicted in the game).
