Red Rock Canyon

Early this morning we headed out to Red Rock Canyon about half hour west of Las Vegas.  We were hoping that by visiting early morning we would see some wildlife.  That did not happen but we enjoyed the drive through the park and all the desert scenery along with the very unexpected picographs on the rocks.
