On our trip to Las Vegas, we went to Red Rock Canyon and took the Chacon Tank trail - very beautiful. Here we're squinting into the sun.


The rock from this area was quarried for building




Peter really enjoyed finding little caves to climb into


He really wanted me to take pictures of him, perched on top of various boulders










We could see all the way into Las Vegas here

Many commercials and movies have been filmed hereWhite Dome trail
