Red Rock Canyon

Yesterday Barbara and I traveled 120 miles, round trip, to visit the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area just northwest of Las Vegas. This is the second time we have visited here and both times we weren’t able to get in. The first time was during Covid and no one was allowed in. This time we found out that you have to have a reservation to get in. So just like the first time I took photos from outside the park.

Since we couldn’t get into Red Rock Canyon we stopped at nearby Spring Mountain Ranch State Park. This is an historic site established in 1974. It contains replicas of the original ranch buildings, a visitor center and gift shop, a picnic area and some hiking trails. Barbara visited the visitors center while Toby and I walked several of the hiking trails and I took some photos. They are currently filming a movie here. (10)
