Red Rock Canyon Travel Blogs

Today was nuts!! Can I please start off by saying I FREAKING HATE HIKING. My meager attempts at exercise involve being in a seriously air-conditioned room on a treadmill doing not-very-fast with an iPod and a news periodical. It also involved leaving for a shower and a massage after 20 minutes. Tha…

Some of us did not make it home, or back to the hotel, until 4 a.m. after the meetup...but that didn't stop us from being a little adventurous the next day.  Melanie, Tracy, Angel, and I decided we would spend part of the day at Red Rock Canyon and have a little picnic. I rented a convertible…

The kickoff to the meetup started Saturday morning with a hike at Redrock Canyon...or should I say the photoshoot for the Trav "buddy" pinup of the month calendar! (LOL)...I got to the Visitor's center and saw that RJ and I were the first ones there.  That's a scary thought for whoever really …

I am happy to see when i filled up my gas tank it was less than $20. I have not seen that before in a VERY long time. normally it is $25 or the last year was $35. I was a happy camper. i know this is will brief. I won't be surprised if it will jump back up to $4 a gallon again. *SIGH*I wanted to go…

The following day Melanie arrived around noon to meet me for lunch. We had talked about having an American delicacy, a burger from In and Out but I was now at a point where my body was refusing lard, so she took me to Whole Foods. Salad! We sat in the sunshine enjoying the Red Rock Hotel pool and t…

Wakey wakey, shake and bakey... ugh... 7am I'm up.  I call Erik.  He tells me to got back to bed.  Ok.  8am I'm awake.  Call Erik... back to bed.  9 am... I'm awake, call Erik... ugh... ok, talk for a bit, then get up and shower.  Tuyen is already up and showered.…

This is a Vegas meet up first, instead of having in the evening it’s the whole entire day. The VEGAS MEET UP started at 10am at red rock canyon to go for an afternoon hike.   We hiked ice box canyon it is difficult but, it was easy. It just has plenty of small rocks to walk over. W…

Saturday, April 05, 2008. 10:00 am After a night of partying and intoxication for some, I must say it was not easy to rise early in preparation for a hike of all things. The Red Rock Canyon hike was scheduled for 10:00 a.m., but we did not get started until a few minutes after 10:30 am. We all con…

Over the weekend of March 28, myself and several friends attended the 2008 Red Rock Rendezvous in Vegas. Some of us camped at the event and others got hotels (I camped obvioulsy) but we all had an amazing time. I was able to lead a sport climbing route for the first time and demo'd some very high-end Specialized mountain bikes. Even had the chance to check out Hoover Dam before catching our flight home. (the photos read like a journal)

We were in Las Vegas for the weekend for a Marine expo...Pretty strange having a Marine & Boat show in the desert...haha! I didn't have to work until Sunday so we planned a day trip into Red Rock Canyon. We rented a Jeep and rolled down the top for the drive out that morning. It was a pretty co…

Today we're heading to Red Rock Canyon ... along with all the FUN, we got to take in one sight before going home ... My hometown is a basin formed many years ago from a very large meteor rock hitting the Sudbury region ... resulting in the vast rocks ... but I we come closer to Red Rock Canyon I do…

So I slept at Sal's house cuz we were supposed to go hiking to see a glacier at I think Great Basin National Park... but alas... global warming has gotten the best of me and the only glacier in Nevada is melting... RJ had to inform us of that ahead of time... so then we were going to hike to a wate…

I took a bus ride to Red Rock Canyon from Las Vegas, Nevada. The scenery is amazing, with the brightly coloured rocks, joshua trees and we were lucky to spot some wild donkeys. A big contrast from Vegas, so peaceful and serene, even in 110F heat.

While in Vegas my friends and I drove the short distance to Red Rock Canyon... a stunning desert spot with bright coloured rock formations. I'd been before but couldn't miss the opportunity for some more photos of this amazing area. We were also lucky enough to spot some of the wild donkeys that roam around nearby :D

Just a couple places I like to visit and take as many pictures! :]
