Spoilt!

Warmth has returned, no heating required yesterday evening or overnight! This morning it was about 15°C. After breakfast we hung around for a while then headed out to Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area. To get there we drove along the “Strip” in Las Vegas.

The area has a one way road around it that runs for about 13 miles. Along the way are numerous viewpoints and trail heads. Unfortunately the trails were not very well marked, and useful maps were almost non existent. We did manage one trail about a mile long, it was along rocky path with a few small climbs and a short boardwalk.

As we left the area we spotted this “camouflaged” cell tower.

As Lyn said as we were driving around, we should have visited the Grand Canyon last. Under normal circumstances the scenery here would have been fantastic, but after the Grand Canyon, it was “just” another picturesque drive.
