It would be so fantastic and healthy for people to visit the naturally beautiful areas around Las Vegas. There are mountains with snow and amazing rock formations at Valley of Fire State Park, or Red Rock Canyon. These places bring peace to your soul – something you can’t get on the strip.
We explored Red Rock Canyon yesterday and encountered Big Horned Sheep and wild burros. It was very exciting to see them. The wind was howling and the temperature in the low 40s, so we didn’t get a chance to hike much. It was blowing so hard last night that we pulled the slides in on the RV.
This morning it was snowing in Las Vegas, so we drove an hour to visit Valley of Fire State Park. What an amazing place. The rock formations are huge, red, and filled with holes. One canyon we hiked in was covered in petroglyphs – some of the best specimens we’ve seen. We decided that this place requires a few days of exploration, so we’ll be coming back here in a week or so. Tomorrow we’re going out to Death Valley, so we probably won’t have email or cell service for five or more days.
