Going through my archive last weekend looking back at the last time, I was overseas sought of shocked me, as I would travel overseas at least once a year but, it also bought back some great memories, which will keep my dream alive that, I will travel again soon. These photos that, I came across took me back to my long Californian vacation to Danville Town just over 4 years ago where, I was visiting my cousin and his wife, in my duration of time, I spend in America we traveled many states and in this post, I will be taking you to the beautiful Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas Nevada.
On this particular trip we were leaving from Danville Town and heading all the way to Las Vegas Casino in my cousins black Mustang not only was it going to be a classic drive along the highways, but I was looking forward to seeing Red Rock Canyon they say it's the most scenic place in southern Nevada, with it's towering red rocks some as high as 1,800 feet, it will be a incredible natural wonder to see. Red Rock Canyon, in Nevada was the first National Conservation Area which spans over more than 195,000 acres of towering red rock sandstone peaks, and ancient petroglyphs.

Arriving at Red Rock Canyon after a long most amazing scenic drive along the mountainous and desert highways was certainly a spectacular sight to take in looking at these brimming landscapes with those vibrant red landscapes and vistas, was just overwhelming and breathtaking. I just wanted to touch these red rocks and climb to the top of these towering red rocks.
)
)
We had not planed to camp out or stay any length of time in the canyon, just a few hours to climb around and hike around a bit so we decided to take the Calico Basin Trail which is an easy 0.6 mile trail, it was enough to get up to the peak of this red rock, so we could observe the sunset before heading to Las Vegas Casino, we were like less then 20 miles from Las Vegas city, so we had time for a hike up to this towering peak of this red rock to watch the sunset.

)
This would be one place, I could spend more time with more then 30 miles of picturesque hiking trails and a 13 mile scenic drive and much more, I honestly didn't want to leave this place but we had our plans. There is much to do and see amongst these beautiful landscapes, great for families they can come down to red rocks for a picnic do a bit of climbing with the kids or horseback riding, there is something for everybody here in red rocks.

I found Red Rock, a true experience of freedom away from the hustle and bustle of city noise and traffic, a few nights here under the dazzling glowing stars would certainly be recommend for stress relief therapy, for me just seeing this wonder of nature took all my stress away and finishing the day off looking at a sunset across these red rock mountainous landscape just put me in the most relaxed mood that, I was ready to take a nap up here on this red rock but we were on a mission to win a few hands on our skillful black-jack game at the Las Vegas casino.

I love the sight of that car, it's just my kind of ride. Those rocks, especially the red rock canyon, announces the affinity between monocotyledons and stony soil texture.
Traveling is quite an education, one should peruse the opportunity, anytime it appears.

Thank you @oldmans I hope to get back there again myself in the near future, it was just awesome to see all them rock valleys and we did see the Valley of Fire also I did a post on that a while back.
I like a lot of different environments but lately desert type of landscapes with rock formations have really intrigued me. :)
Rock formations have always intrigued me they have so much history and character love the sharps and layers in between 👍
Such a cool place and very close for getaway from Vegas to take a break from its madness.
It certainly was @crazy-andy was just the perfect adventure 👍
WOW, that is very people rock mountain. I just want to go there if I can. Have a good day.

Spectacular scenery. Last photo mind blowing.. Thanks for digging these photos up @kohsamui99 😎
Thank you @manorvillemike your welcome have you been to this part of America ?
No, just been to Yosemite in California. You have seen way more of my country than me..😭
They do say people living in there own country never travel there own country, I am much the same rather go overseas for some reason.
😍😍😍 Truly spectacular Red Rock Canyon. It will definitely be on my bucket list to see if I have a chance ti visit Las Vegas Nevada.
Thanks for sharing 😍
Thank you @trangbaby great if you make it there some day definitely worth a visit you would enjoying camping and hiking in this mountainous country 😊
Gorgeous photos. Thanks for reminding me. I lived right there in Sunmerlin off Oakey and Rainbow back in 2008. Red Rock was visible from the back yard.
And the restaurants at Red Rock Casino are top shelf!
Thank you @dandays wow you would have had some pretty red hot sunsets from your backyard how amazing, I wished I had spend a couple nights in that park.
I stayed in that house for nearly a whole year too. During that big Vegas boom between 06-08. Good times. I've worked in Vegas twice now for a total of 2 years and not once did I play a single game—true story.
Both times I was there I'd tell all the fellas how I'll walk away from the job having never played one machine, one card game, anything. Both times I did it. 👍🏿 Not my thing.
I gambled!!!! Oh man, did I ever, thank god I made it outta there alive. Just not the traditional gambling way.
"Just not the traditional gambling way." That sounds like a awesome story to tell right there, I can relate to that way of gambling hehe 🤣
My man! 😉
