Red Rock Canyon – Full-Time RV Life

The Las Vegas area has so much more to offer than the Vegas Strip.  Roy and Judy invited me along while they explored some of the more natural areas out first week in Nevada.  They were extremely patient while I took photos during our drive through Red Rock Canyon.  We were treated to some of the most breathtaking views.  Below is a photographic tour through the park.

This was entrance to a beautiful drive.  It’s sad someone decided to leave their crappy artwork.

The rich, colorful layers paint a beautiful landscape.

It looked as if a storm was coming in, but the rain never came.  The darkening skies made shadows dance on the desert floor and gave depth to the colors in the rock.

I wish there were more words than beautiful, breathtaking, stunning–all words inadequate to describe the landscape as far as the eyes can see.

The desert floor, the jutting rocks, the plants–all made a work of art.

I loved this scene.  Do you see faces in the rock?  I see so many images.

Red Rock Canyon is a beautiful drive with several areas to stop and take photos or simply enjoy the stunning views.  It’s a truly magnificent park.  I loved looking onto the wide vistas and realizing just how small I am in this big huge world and how blessed I am to stand among the earth’s glory.

I love places that put life in perspective.

  5. I don’t know if it was Red Rock we saw when we were in the helicopter ride but there were some pretty different colors in the rocks as we flew over. Your pictures, as always, are gorgeous. You put us right there!

    1. I’m glad we had the opportunity to visit Red Rock. Every time I see a location I think is beautiful, we find somewhere else that touches us in a different way. Now, we are finding ourselves tuckered out from all the exploring and taking some downtime to visit my daughter in Missouri–another breathtaking sight that creates even sweeter memories.
