 I went for a hike in Red Rock Canyon Sunday 5-3-2009 and when you look at this photograph above you start to wonder "where does this road go?"

 Well let me tell you! It goes to Calico Basin Park where there are hiking trails, picnic tables, and the best part is it's (FREE) to get in!

I hike around Calico Basin all the time and below are some of the wonderful things you will see!

 Beautiful wild flowers every where like the photo (above) and the photo (below) is my favorite with the bumble bee taking pollen from a cactus flower.

  The photo below is from the top of some rocks I climbed with some great views, it took me about 1 1/2 hours to get to the top.

  The photo (below) is of someones home with great views of Red Rock to the West and Las Vegas to the East.

 The photo (below) is my second favorite with the green trees, blue skies, white fluffy clouds and part of Red Rock in the back ground.

Hi Robert,

Your pics bring back memories of when I went to Red Rock with my brother who lived in Vegas at the time. I'll never forget how beautiful and breathtaking it is!

Beautiful photos, as always Bob - isn't that the same spot in the road where Thelma & Louise put the cop in the trunk...and the rastafarian bicyclist blew ganja smoke at the trooper through the bullethole?

Robert, I was at Red Rock Canyon last month.  It's such a surprise.  A grogeous location to capture some great photos.  Thanks for sharing.

Bob, that is a beautiful set of photos!  It is amazing just that close to Las Vegas, yet it seems to be miles away!
