52.05 Nevada: Red Rock National Park: Calico Heights offers superb climbing and hiking opportunities.

Jen captures many good photographs in this unusual rock (mountain) formation region. Try to look past the guy in orange though...it's not really his fault that he appears to have stolen the limelight...problem of having a good photographer around. Where are you? I think I'm stuck. Lend me a hand, please...better still a ladder? My left, big toe is my only connection.   We understand many people do not like deserts...we are not a couple of them. A surprise awaiting both Jenni and the rock-climber. Cliche time: 'Funny meeting you here.'   Left toe survived. Kid's dream day. Noticing a pattern of 'My Left Foot'...a sequence to the movie perhaps. Continues... Much competition for Sedona. Heading back to the trail after enjoying a couple of hours in the 'rockies'. We don't even know how to describe these massive formations. That's the end of the road, fella. Cheers,  Jenni and Jeffrey

52.01 Nevada: Hendersen: Black Mountain in Sloan Park, Anthem, a big finish.

Jen begins the very steep last half-mile. A view of the peak, about thirty minutes in. Mount Charleston provides the background. Looks like Jenni is about to rebel. Meantime, a strip of smog settles over the Strip. Jenni eyes the peak. A glance at Las Vegas with McCarran Airport in front, from the peak. Reaching the peak and noticing 'Old Glory' has been replaced, as mentioned in an earlier blog. Las Vegas in the distance. That's it from Charleston with Las Vegas in the foreground. Cheers,  Jenni and Jeffrey
