Another place Dad and I visited while in Las Vegas is right outside of town on the west side – Red Rock Canyon. It was one of the other places we visited while there including the Pioneer Saloon, the Seven Magic Mountains, and the Ethel M Chocolate Factory and its Botanical Cactus Garden.

It’s a very pretty place, and what’s neat is they have an area devoted to desert tortoises.

Anyone seen the hare? Photo by Mark Eades.

I’m not sure if this tortoise is smiling at me or what.
