Red Rock Canyon

we went to red rock for the first time on the trip to vegas. it's about 2 miles outside the housing developments that are creeping out from the center of town. they had a great visitor center with lots of outdoor displays. it was about 108 degrees out, so we weren't as adventous as normal & stayed on the path. there is a 13 mile one-way senice loop with a bunch of trails & bathrooms stops along the way. if you click below you can see some pics.

You went to Vegas? Looks fun but hot. Sure is still wet here in Oregon, pouring today.

Great photos, amazing how hot it was while you were there. The sky was a beautiful blue. My favorite picture is the city hare, although N looked brave and courageous walking under the mountain lion.
Love, MOM
