I think we finished around 2PM which was why I decided to do the drive home same day. It spits you out into Red Rock Canyon Park. It's a 1 way loop so if you want to actually see some stuff in the park you have to loop around and pay the entrance fee.

If you are out in that area though it may also be worth driving out to Valley of Fire SP. No wheelin' there that I could find but a really cool area to check out.

I’ve been looking at the 13-mile loop in the Logandale system. Close to the Valley of Fire (other side of Vegas from Rocky). Scenic and sandy.

We both camped at Red Rock Campground. You need to get reservations though. There is also dispersed camping along the trailhead on Lovell Canyon Road.

I drove up the night before and stayed at the campground and then drove home the next day after the run. Greg drove up day of, stayed at the campground night after. So either way would work. I remember it being a 45 minute drive from the campground to the Rocky Gap Trailhead.

Camp ground was only 15 minutes from the end of the trail or so. Honestly I could have driven home that same night if I had wanted. We got done with the trail party quickly.

Sure does.
it’s getting a pretty good group together.
I was going to go but I have a family function that I can’t get out of no matter what.
Unless the Mission Inn in Riverside burns down beforehand.
I am not making any suggestions, so please, nobody get any ideas.

M80 in the toilet?

Am I putting you on the list?

My brother in Vegas will be tagging along with me. He’s owned a couple JKs, but in January went to the dark side. Being blood relations, I can’t completely disown him.

That would be messy but probably not enough.
October is fully booked for me already. Probably November too.

If you get to the Valley of Fire, the old town that Lake Mead covered in the 30s is now exposed and you can drive around it. https://www.nps.gov/lake/learn/natu...ttlement, St,due to severe drought conditions.
