You knew it was coming, right?  Anyone who lives in Las Vegas knows about Red Rock Canyon, that beautiful pristine area that’s just about 30 minutes away from anywhere in Las Vegas.  Its official full name is the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.  But few of us ever call it that!  Red Rock Canyon works just fine!

I went out there recently looking for cactus blossoms.  Only found a few, but as always, the scenery was fabulous.  Here are a few shots:

Red Rock Vista

Joshua Tree Pods

Cactus Flower With Bee

Death By Fire

Flowering Indigo Bush

So as you can see, there is a lot more to be found in and near Las Vegas than just what can be found on the Strip.  Red Rock Canyon is one of the closest areas for admiring nature’s beauty but it is not the only place.

Well until next time,

Good luck to ya!
