This Week’s (05/10/12) Hike

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area (RRCNCA) This weeks hike consisted of several stops within the RRCNA. First we stopped at Red Springs in Calico Basin. From there we entered Red Rock Canyon and made a stop at the Visitor Center and the Desert Tortoise Habitat. Next we head out around the 13-mile Scenic Loop Drive to the Willow Springs Picnic Area for a short hike to some Petroglyphs. Finally we drove to the trailhead for the Pine Creek Canyon Trail where we spent more than two hours hiking. Because each of these stops can be considered a ‘day-trip’ in its own right, I have separate pages on my site for each one. Clicking the links below will take you to each specific location.
