RSS Feed5 years later, we visit Red Rock Canyon
Living in Henderson, 10 minutes or so from Las Vegas, is pretty interesting. If you ask anybody outside of Nevada what there is to do in Las Vegas and it’s safe to say “Gambling” is going to be the #1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 answers. But, as it turns out, there’s a lot more out here than you might realize. Or, if you are anything like us, you may know that these things are here, but choose to ignore them for the first 5 years you live here.
As I mentioned recently, I picked up a new camera. My goal is to take a bunch of photos before June so I can figure out what the heck I’m doing so I can take some sweet shots while we are in Alaska. So, when we woke up this morning, we packed up the kids and headed out to Red Rock Canyon.
Red Rock Canyon is less than an hour drive from our house, but when you get out there on the scenic drive, you might think you’ve landed on a different planet. The 13 mile drive around the loop takes you past several spots where you can park your car and go for a hike. The hikes range from easy to very difficult. We chose one that was .75 miles and labeled as easy. Us first timers need to take it a little slow. But, I think we picked the right course. We ended up on a path that ended at the base of a waterfall. Even our son, who puts up a fight when it comes to doing most anything outside, had a great time.
So, Red Rock this week, perhaps Hoover Dam or Valley of Fire next week.
Here’s some photos I took out at Red Rock.
