Windy Canyon is an excellent location to escape some of the more congested zones with classics at most grades up to V12. Home to the iconic Fish Head which can be seen far in the distance and acts as a landmark for the boulders in the north zone. As Windy Canyon is one of the zones that sees less traffic from both climbers and hikers, the trails are fainter, and the cactus more abundant. It is highly recommended to be prepared with adequate approach shoes, and to not bring those that are susceptible to cactus spines such as pets or young children.

Windy Canyon is located on the southern end of Red Rock Canyon, approached via SR160 (Blue Diamond Hwy). Historically good car ground clearance has been required, but as of late 2025 a recently flattened dirt road makes the car approach easier. This is potentially subject to change but should not currently require good clearance. No fee or reservation needed. Reach SR160 via either SR159, 15 or 215. At the intersection of SR159 and SR160 the Late Night Trailhead will be visible after driving 4.7 miles west and unmarked dirt road 0.3 miles further. Make the first right onto the unmarked dirt road through a cattleguard. From there, the main Windy Canyon parking lot is reached after about 10 minutes of driving 1.1 miles on the flat dirt road.
