This last week, my Dad was visiting from Alaska. We did alot, but I didn't spend too much time going out just to play with the camera. We spent some time in Red Rock, Las Vegas and Sand Hollow near St. George. Here are some scenery pictures I ended up with.
This was at the "First Pullout" on the Red Rock Canyon loop just outside Vegas. I love the variety of color out there. And the clouds were very cool this day as well.
A hoodoo out at the Sand Hollow sand dunes. Hard to believe that behind this picture, Cedar City was being dumped on with snow.
After the heavy rains and winds out at the sand dunes, there were some amazing textures!
The balanced rock out at "Moderate Mecca" at Red Rock Canyon. There are climbing routes up the face of this rock but it seems like the rock will detach from the cliff side some time soon.
Driving though the Virgin River Gorge, take the Cedar Pocket exit and head west onto the dirt road and continue for a couple miles. There are some great rock structures and a beautiful Joshua Tree "forest". In this picture, I like how the 12 foot trees were towering high into the sky. But seriously, they are amazing.
I have always thought the desert looked bland with the gray rock color and neutral colored brush. But the Joshua Trees and blue sky really brighten this scene up.
