iHike

George and I weren’t much impressed with the highly anticipated iPad. Another big hoopla about nothing. I doubt this toy will be successful but what do I know. Isn’t it just an over-sized...and over-prized!!!...iPhone anyway?

One thing you can’t do with an iPhone, iPad or iPhool is spending an amazing day at Red Rock Canyon, just outside of Las Vegas. George and I went hiking on one of the many trails that takes you through bizarre desert rock formations or semi-alpine landscapes with breathtaking vistas. Recent winter storms left enough snow on the surrounding mountain summits, looking as if they were topped with powdered sugar.

The Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is only about a 30-minute drive from our house. We can even see some of the red stone walls and summits from our upstairs windows. We should visit this amazing place more often.

But sometimes life has other things planned for us. Hopefully it’ll allow us a couple more of these excursions though. Below are some impressions from our hike on Saturday.

Taking care of global warming...American style:





And once again on this happy note...have a great Labor Day, folks.
