🌼 May Day at Red Rock 🌼

May Day is a reminder that it’s spring again. At Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, that shows up in simple ways—some desert plants starting to bloom, more movement from wildlife, and the landscape looking a little less dry and a little more alive.

It’s also the start of Bike Month—a perfect time to get outside, hit the trails, and take it all in. 🚴‍♂️🌿

Did you know the desert tortoise can store up to 40% of its body weight in water—basically carrying its own emergency supply through the desert?🏜️

It also spends about 95% of its life hiding in underground burrows to stay safe from extreme temperatures, and it can survive freezing winters ❄️
and scorching summers 🔥 by carefully regulating its body and retreating to those burrows when conditions get extreme!
