Red Rock



















We were so spoiled in St. George, UT. We lived in a neighborhood were the house in front of us backed up a 400,000 acre tortoise reserve of red rocks. We had amazing views of Snow Canyon and the trail head happen to be just a few houses down from ours. On a daily basis we went hiking in one of the most beautiful places I've seen. We all love the outdoors. Since we've been in Vegas we have been going through withdraws.
I took the kids to Las Vegas' Red Rock Park today to go hiking. We ended up going on a hiking adventure!! We scaled big boulders (the majority of it) and hiked in water, sand, and gravel to get to "Calico Bowl" (a HUGE natural bowl in the rocks that collects water). We even saw a wild burrow. From the top there was this unobstructed view of the Las Vegas Valley and the Strip. It was so peaceful and breathtaking. It was perfect!
