Residing within Red Rock Canyon State Park and the El Paso Mountains, Pleasant Valley Road drives along the eastern side of Red Buttes. It connects Last Chance Canyon with the network roads you can take on your way to the Burro Schmidt Tunnel or Camp Bickel. While driving this road, the mountains vividly show reds, pinks, tans, and browns. In addition, the area's vegetation is a little more green—all providing stunning views. The drive is comparatively gentle and suitable for any high clearance vehicle. Be advised that the road crosses a wash and might become impassable during a rain event. There is no camping is along this trail.
