Christmas Eve at Red Rock Canyon
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area just outside Las Vegas is my favorite Las Vegas-area destination. We stopped by on Wednesday afternoon of Christmas Eve for a quick drive around the 13-mile long scenic loop, when I captured this view from one of my favorite vista points.
A snow storm closed the entire 13-mile scenic drive loop the following day.
Happy Holidays from our family to yours.

Roy’s Motel Cafe – Best of 2019
Roy’s Motel & Cafe in Amboy, CA opened as a gas station in 1938 along Route 66 and thrived until Interstate 40 opened and diverted traffic off the historic route in 1972
I made this shot a few months before the iconic monument sign was restored and re-lit last month.
