Day 32: Red Rocks Canyon



View of Red Rocks Canyon near Vegas
Day 32/Oct 30, 2013  Weds

Despite cotton in my ears our stay at the casino wasn’t all that quiet.  We were right by the road and that means road noise.  Would I stay here again…probably not. 











The rocks really are red!
The Walmart down the street might have been only slightly better.  On the way out of town (southbound on 160) we noticed that the casino across the side street Had a bunch of rv’s  parked there and that would have been further from the road.  Our Nugget Casino had no rv’s in it…

 





walking...


Pahrump Station (strip mall) has laundry and a bakery a few doors down….East Postal Street.  Very convenient going southbound on 160 from the Casinos or Walmart.

 






 

Calico Rocks and stone spiral
After laundry, we headed off to Red Rocks near Vegas to stay the night.  We did not know exactly where Graham (son) worked but on the way into the Red Rocks Canyon campground we saw a BLM station. THEN, I noticed the guy working with the bushy beard and there he was. 









Yeah, fall colors!


We are to spend four nights at his “house” (fifth wheel parked in vegas at a unoccupied home).  The visitor’s center was our main stop for today to get info on hikes to do tomorrow before we head out to Graham’s house.

The Red Rocks campground is $15 and offers no services.  All we needed was a place to park our vehicle.  This is where we stayed the night before heading out to Graham's place.
