Description
I frequently hike in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, which is in Las Vegas, NV (really!!!). I photographed this beautiful scene one day as I was hiking in Terrace Canyon.
..... ..... ..... .....
Terrace Canyon is hardly traveled to, but is known by the Las Vegas hiking community. It is considered a strenuous hike. It is a magical and peaceful place made so by great sights and the sounds of falling water. And part of the magic is due to the rarity of the moving water, which is found in the Spring with the snow melt. So there is a window, dependent on rain/snow/temperature, but if you meet it you will experience a stream rolling down the terrace, which is like a series of rock steps. Think of one of those zen water art plug-in living room pieces; the water in Terrace Canyon has similar motion and noise.
..... ..... ..... .....
The payoff for reaching Terrace Canyon may or may not be king, because the obstacle laden canyon scrambling means of reaching it is just as fantastic. Like many scrambles, you see the puzzle, make a plan of rock jumping, and execute. However, the rocks you leap to in the canyons here hold onto pinks, purples, and shy blues.
