Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area

Vegas baby! Since we don’t enjoy gambling and aren’t really into shows; our idea of doing Vegas is hiking and climbing in the desert. Red Rock Canyon is the perfect place for both of those activities. The vivid colors show off amazingly intricate striations within the massive rock formations. The climbing is world class and very popular, even though we’re just beginners. It was great to see such a vast amount of natural climbing walls accessible to everyone. Plus, the views from the top of the rocks were so incredible!

The following six photos were taken during our hike on the White Rock Loop Trail ...
