Red Rock Canyon

As the job search continues, I have to find a way to keep myself entertained in the city of Las Vegas. You may be thinking, "It's Vegas, there's so much to do!" How that may be true, there's plenty to do when you have money, but options become quite limited when funds are limited.

Overview of part of the canyon

Some light climbing

After being back from camp for a week and a half and going through major camp and outdoor withdrawals, I dragged out my 'lil sis and we went on an adventure at Red Rock Canyon. This is about as outdoorsy you're going to get without venturing too far out of your way outside of Vegas. Red Rock Canyon has over fifteen hiking trails that all seem pretty sweet. We ventured down the only one labeled 'strenuous' as my 'lil sis' pointed out to me, to which we did not finish because it was slightly warm, we got kind of lost, realized we didn't have enough water, and Danika is not in shape, or an avid outdoor explorer or exerciser like myself.

The clouds looked awesome after the storm

The only kicker (for some reason I didn't see this on the website) you have to pay to get in. Vehicles are $7, smaller motorbikes and bicycles are $3, an annual pass is $30, so not too bad if you consider it like one of those mid-western state parks.

Always chillin' like a villain

I'm sad we didn't get to finish our hike, I'll just have to head back out on my own or with someone in better shape. I am definitely looking forward to going back and exploring all of the other trails the canyon has to offer, as well as some off road trailing and climbing of my own.

"Adventure is out there." Go find it!
