Our trip to Vegas, Day 1

Jeremy and I went to Las Vegas for 4 glorious days. In the next few posts I will tell y'all what we did each day. On the first day we went hiking in Red Rock Canyon. The rocks were definitely "red" as you can see in the pic. To get an idea of how big the mountains were, look at the first picture. Look at were the desert turns to "red rock" and then look a little left of the center. You will see a thin black line. That is a parking lot! There were lots of people there and most of them were rock climbers. It was so cool to look up and see little black specks that were people climbing the rocks/mountains. We had a lot of fun hiking up into the canyon and into its crevices. We saw all sorts of cool things like the "cave" I took a picture of. It wasn't really a cave, but I don't know what else to call it. You can see how water has carved out all these little holes. Neat, huh? As we were hiking I decided to opt out on sunscreen for the day. I just wanted to "get a little color". Ha!! I was fried by the end of the day!
We hiked back to "the quarry" which was a little pond created by the sheer cliffs. Once we got above the quarry we had an awesome view of "the strip". If you look close in the photo you can see the big casinos. It was so beautiful up there! Jeremy and I fell in love with Nevada and all the fun things to do. We could actually even see ourselves living there! Weird, isn't it?
