... 'Red Springs' area of 'Red Rock Canyon'...
... some easy hiking a short distance from the vehicle...
... lots of rock 'scrambling' ta' do up to several hundred feet - very easy to however hard you want to scare yourself...
... roped climbing as well - a few climbers near the center of the image...
... viewing down from part way up an easy scramble - a few hikers for scale...
... and a 'trail runner'...
... a few 'Barrel Cactus'...
... lots of late afternoon and evening shade...
... just up the road ya' got the 'Kraft Boulders'...
... a new buddy we made - 'Kentucky' - providing scale to the place...
... along with great viewing...
... almost everyone living in Vegas is from somewhere else - she said that the hotel she worked at required the employees to abbreviate the name of the state they were from on their uniform nametag along with their first name - said she got a lot of kidding from everyone with the moniker "KY"...
... regardless - a pretty good climber...
... don't know the names given to any of the boulders - picked up a 'guide book' to the place, but don't like lookin' at those things unless looking for something specific - like to be surprised...
... pretty sure that this one...
... is called the 'Potato'...
... at least that's what this strong-ass dude from California said it was called (guess he would be called 'Cal' - which would make me 'Pa') - he was runnin' up everything in site ("warming up") before heading off up the canyon to where "they recently found some hard stuff"...
... we said that we would stick around here...
... on the "easy stuff"...
... another visit after driving over with 'buddy Matt' to hike around, after gettin' bored settin' around the house one evening...
... don't know...
... ?...
... ??...
... ???...
... ????...
... gonna' have to hike up the canyon one of these visits to check out the hard stuff he's talkin' about...
