RED ROCKS IN LAS VEGAS

Who new! There's a spectacular sandstone canyon right here in Las Vegas. The humans drove a few miles out of town to the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area today.  It was a 13 mile, one way drive in the Mohave Desert that rises up to an elevation of 4771 feet and overlooks some really beautiful scenery.

Although it was really hot today, they were able to hike a short trail and find some pictographs on the red rocks at the end of the trail.  The Joshua trees were blooming all over the desert and the yellow flowers were prolific due to the heavy rains this winter. They even found a shady spot near a stream for a picnic.  Doggies might have been allowed on this trip, but 4 humans and 3 doggies in a hot car didn't sound like fun to any of us.


Kathe took me for several great walks around the Resort.  It's really a beautiful place, very exclusive and there are many large lots that have outdoor kitchens, firepits and lush landscaping.  The dog parks are pretty fantastic as well, lush green lawns and no fences.  You can run around and jump in the grass to your hearts content.  I especially like my walks at nighttime when it's cool and quiet. I'll rate this place 4 paws up!
