RED ROCK CANYON

We took a scooter ride just outside of Vegas heading west to a beautiful park called Red Rock Canyon. Only minutes from down town.  It was a warm sunny day and we enjoyed the ride and the view.  Nothing like driving the winding roadways through the mountains with little other traffic and the wind in ones face!!!!!!  Had a blast!!!  (at least ONE of us had the wind blowing through our hair.....LOL)

Desert Iguana mounting a Chuckwalla.....typical desert activity...

Alistair just LOVES snakes so he insisted on having a photo with one........good thing for him it was not real or he would have bolted for home, asap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Seriously.......he had to be coaxed by me to even sit this close to a FAKE snake!!!!!!!!

But thank goodness he doesn't have turtlophobia!!!!!!!!

Finally managed to get a photo of both of us on our scooter, "The Hardly Dangerous"

Turtle sightings are current in the area, hence the many Turtle X-ings.

The other tourist who took this picture obviously needs a few photography lessons !!!!

It really was a beautiful drive and a nice change of pace from the hustle and bustel and Glitz of Las Vegas
