Las Vegas, North America: Rock Holidays
You may think Las Vegas is full of wedding chapels, bright lights of casinos and world famous celebrities. Whilst that may be true what you may not know about Las Vegas and the area it lays in are the breath-taking rock formations that you will stumble across as you venture out of the bright lights of the city and into the surrounding desert and mountains. The mountains and desert can be seen from the Las Vegas Strip.
To the West of Las Vegas run the Spring Mountains, and the Red Rock Canyon. Full of amazing structures where the Earth has shifted and thrust the rocks around and layers of different sediments creating colourful bands of rock. Red Rock Canyon is formed from many layers of a deep red sandstone. It has been made a National Conservation area and is only a very short drive from Las Vegas. Spring Mountains are named after the vast amount of natural springs found in the mountain range.
