Red Rock Canyon, Nevada

Something I didn't realise about Vegas until I arrived here, was that it is surrounded by mountains. Just outside the city limits it the "Red Rock Canyon State Park". Myself and a colleague head out there for a short hike and exploration. 

As someone whos only lived and explored in Europe  up til now, it was a breathtaking visit to see the canyon, a completely alien landscape to anything I'd witnessed before. Its also not a side of Vegas that is necessarily as advertised as much to visitors (unsurprisingly).
