Rock On! 2,022 Red Rock license plates are on the road and one is in the Tortoise Habitat.

Friends of Red Rock Canyon are lucky to have a charitable license
plate providing critically needed funds which support our efforts to
preserve and protect the Rock.

Trading in your existing license plate for a Red Rock Canyon plate
results in a $25 tax-deductible donation to Friends in the first year and
a $20 donation for every year you renew the license plate.

Thank you if you already have a Red Rock Canyon plate. Please
consider getting the license plate if you don’t have this visible symbol
