Feb 14, Lake Mead, NV

 

Happy valentines day!! I work up to roses, chocolates and a cute card. John had to wait till I shopped.

We hiked our days away at Red Rock. It was hard to tear ourselves away.

the large photo is the 40 foot waterfall at the end. John is half way up. The rocks we had to scramble over were manageable. It is the shortest of the slot canyon hikes into the Spring Mtns.  The last three photos are me climbing, my reflection and sunset on Turtle head pack and the calico hills.

Then we drove to Red Spring and saw a beautiful sunset.

Today we moved to the shore of Lake Mead. We are going to boat the Colorado river below Hoover Dam tomorrow. There are 4 hot springs there we want to soak in. Cynthia our friend from Tecopa is joining us.
