Taking a break from Vegas...nature please!




After our extravagent dinner at craftsteak and amounts of champagne and wine, we decided to take a break for the morning in search of some nature. Thanks for our irregular sleeping schedule, we woke up at dawn and grabbed our rental car and drove to Red Rock Canyon (about 15 minutes away from the strip). It was really great to see the more residential areas of Las Vegas and the less touristy areas. Red Rock Canyon was absolutely gorgeous. There was a scenic loop with tons of look out points to take pictures. It's hard to believe all this natural beauty is in the same town as all the glitz and glamour. This was probably our favorite part of the trip. After our drive we had "breakfast" at In-&-Out burger...delicious!! We split a burger and fries and it was so delicious, and the cashier was a gator fan (what are the odds!). Next time we're in Vegas, we're definetely going back to Red Rock, maybe bring a picnic this time or rent bikes or something.
