Red Rock Canyon, Las Vegas NV

Took some time today and made the loop around Red Rock. I was born, have lived and visit Vegas often and I always try to get to Red Rock when I'm here. Having the Raptor made this trip all too sweet.

This isn't an offroad park. In fact there's barely any offroading at all, with the exception of Oak Creek Canyon; its a group of roads/trails that runs from the back of the canyon out to Pahrump. These "roads" are what I would call a "fire trail plus", meaning there are spots that are tight and technical, and you'll definitely need a lifted offroader like the Raptor go get over the boulders that dot the route. And when its icy you really need to be careful, as there are some dramatic dropoffs within a foot of the trail. But none the less there's a few ways to go back in there and have some relaxed and causal offroad fun for a few hours. If you're ever in the area, check it out.

Here's a handful of shots from the lower, smoother wide open Red Rock side of the route:
