We arrived at Red Rock Canyon State Park Wednesday night after dark, but it was okay! There was a bright half moon hanging in the clear sky and we were able to pull into a long campsite where we didn't even have to unhook the trailer from the Tahoe. We walked around a little in the dark. One of our neighbors was sitting by his fire, listening to what sounded like Native American flute music. Nice.
This shot was taken from the front door of the camper. It rained in the night and was still sprinkling a bit when I took this.
The rig in the campsite. So cool to wake up there!
We hiked up to this interesting formation as our first goal. It's Hydra's birthday hike! Happy Birthday, Hydra!
Hydra explores the broken up back side of the cliffs. These big boulders were impressive!
Scary alien-looking pod beings. What are these?
Atop the ridge. The weather was perfect for hiking. Cool temps and lots of sun.
From this vantage point, it becomes clear why the ranger station was just about wiped out in the floods a few years ago. Yes, that's it down there where all those (currently) dry stream beds converge!
Showing the scale of the mushroom rock that's so impressive. You can see this from Highway 14 as you drive by, but it's worth a stop.
I liked the double rear-view images as we went on our merry way.
