The Redrock Mountains are just West of where my brother lives, about a 20 minute drive. We spent the 1st day there exploring these awesome mountains that are red due to the iron that was in the water when these mountains were under water.

This is why they call them The Redrocks.

I know Ken! My brother did manage to bring me to a great plane spotting area at McCarran. Got some shoots there at least.

Hello Paul. I am standing to the West of Las Vegas. If you look at me in the pic, you are looking East . Here is a link to Google map.

Ta, Dave...

Took a walk up the "Sandstone" road to the Cul-de-Sac at the end, in Google Earth "Street View"!.... ;)...!

The red rocks show up wonderfully in Google Earth!
