Susie Lee sucks. She should have never been reelected! Her entire campaign was all about “saving women’s rights”, which was total scam that people fell for. She could care less about preserving Red Rock! 🙄

We are deeply saddened to learn about the cyclist who lost their life in a crash today in Southwest Las Vegas. Our thoughts are with their family, friends, and the entire cycling community during this heartbreaking time.
This tragedy is a painful reminder of why we continue to fight for the Red Rock Legacy Trail—a safe, dedicated pathway that will protect cyclists and ensure they no longer have to risk their lives on dangerous roads. No one should have to choose between their passion and their safety.
We remain committed to making this vision a reality. Let’s work together to make sure no more lives are lost.

🌟 Spotted at Red Rock this morning: the stunning Red-naped Sapsucker! 🐦
With its black-and-white body and the males’ striking red crown and throat, this woodpecker is a sight to behold. Known for drilling rows of small holes in tree bark, they feed on sap and the insects it attracts—a fascinating part of our desert ecosystem.
