This place is surreal. Sandstone sculpted red rocks in the middle of the desert about an hour outside of Las Vegas. This is Nevada’s first and largest State Park. All the years we’ve camped in Nevada we’ve never stayed at a State Park. We’ve either camped at a National Park or Forest Service Campground. There are flush toilets, showers and a water spigot at our campsite! Yeah Nevada. We weren’t expecting that being in the middle of the desert.
Arch rock - a naturally formed arch from the erosion of the sandstone. Love all the different rock formations here.
We got so lucky! This campground is first come, first serve. Sign at entrance said it was full, we decided to take a lap anyway. As luck would have it, someone just pulled out and we got the only campsite left.
I’m hanging out in the hammock under the awning.
Yeah, a pretty sweet spot. It’s hot and dry here, but there’s a nice warm breeze.
We managed to rally and get in a bike ride.
Good thing too, cuz we came across this guy. Apparently there are a bunch of big horn sheep in this park.
Tonight’s agenda; watching the sunset, drinking margaritas and checking out the rocks.
I love camping.
