Going to Red Rock Canyon!!!

We decided to take a short drive over to Red Rock Canyon on Friday. September 30th. This is a National Conservation Area and has some very unusual formations. You take a 13 mile drive on a one way road to see all the beauty of this area. The mountains in the Red Rock area were formed by a number of geological forces including fractured faults where the earth's crust collided over millions of years and fossilized sand dunes. Some cliffs reach up an astounding 3,000 feet.  Suzanne and I climbed around on some of the beautiful rocks. The color in the rocks are really beautiful and every time you look at the different layers and colors you have to think of how long ago this transpired. This place is really a nice diversion from the hustle of the Vegas strip.
