← All areas in this guide

Red Rock Canyon serves as the fortified tribal home base of the Great Khans, located on the far western edge of the Mojave Wasteland. The area is central to resolving the main quest storyline regarding the tribe's alliance with Caesar's Legion, most notably during the quest "Oh My Papa." Exploring the canyon allows you to negotiate with or eliminate tribal leaders, discover a major drug lab, and access secluded mountain passes.
