We went to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area which is just outside Las Vegas, NV. This is the first National Conservation area in Nevada. There are beautiful views of the canyon on the 13 mile park drive and at the visitor center. As the name indicates, the rocks are red and when sunny out, you can see just how beautiful the park is. They also have a desert tortoise population and a wild burro population, which we did not see since they are shy and were hiding from us. Judy, Bob and I had a nice walk in the park and visitor center.

We visited Oatman, Arizona with Judy’s brother Bob. Oatman is an old mining town about 50 miles from Bullhead City, Arizona which is directly across the Colorado River from Laughlin, Nevada.
Oatman is like going 100 years backwards in time to the old west. Roads are dirt, sidewalks are made from wood. Burros freely roam the town looking for food and handouts. They do sell food to feed them. While we were there, we had a nice lunch at one of the old restaurant
