Red Rock Canyon
If you're visiting Las Vegas and you need a quick outdoor escape from the casinos, Red Rock Canyon is the place to go. This National Conservation Area is just 25 miles from the Vegas strip. It features a 13-mile scenic drive and about two dozen hiking trails.
My latest trip to the canyon offered an interesting opportunity. It was a bright and sunny day, but distant mountain ranges were hazy due to California's wildfires. This created a beautiful layered effect in many of my photographs.
