Danielle:
Here's our first glimpse of Red Rocks in Vegas! We actually
woke up real early in the morning (6:00am) to get a good start
on the day. We stayed with Carlette, my old roomie from college,
her husband Jeff, and brother Frank.
The park was about an hour drive
from their house. I was blown away at how the rock formations
stretched on and on in the distance. This picture doesn't
do it justice. Unfortunately, when the negatives were scanned
they came out terrible. I did the best I could to touch them up.

Tad:
I would consider this to be the first time that I have
been in an actual desert. Sure, I've been to Arizona and driven
through the desert there, but had I ever set foot in it before
this trip? Nope.
The first thing I noticed is that the desert is far from
being an empty, dead, place. It is full of life. Plants and
animals abound.
This shot was taken alongside the road between Las Vegas and
Red Rocks Canyon.
You can see the stratified color in the rocks that
the park is named for.
