I don’t know how many millions have come and gone through Las Vegas without taking at least a small trip to Red Rock. Hit the buffet for breakfast in the morning, do some hiking till noon, climb a few south facing 5.10-5.11′s once the rock has warmed up, hit the Red Rock for a late lunch and massage, then back in town before your friends have woken up from their “Hangover”.
This was taken from the scenic vista point, the highest point on the one-way service loop in the park. It’s cool to see the sandstone just out of the surrounding caliche and desert soil with the Las Vegas valley in the background. The normal winter haze (uh, smog), was settled in the valley, so no clear shots of the properties on the strip.
