Preserving Our Beautiful Canyon
Adventure Saturday!!
Mescalito! Such a beautiful peak in Red Rock Canyon. Mescalito is the tall red capped peak that sits in the back of Pine Creek Canyon. It has been climbed using various routes for over 50 years!
Mescalito is a great example of the Aztec Sandstone of Red Rock Canyon. The various colors are what make it so unique. Did you know that the ranging colors show how much iron was in the sand when the sedimentary rock was formed? Over time water leaches out the color and the iron “rusts” into different hues of red, orange, and pink.
We hope you have a fun adventure today while taking in the beautiful colors of Red Rock!

Adventure Saturday!!
There’s a lifetime of adventure to be had in Red Rock Canyon. Where will today’s adventure take you? These shots are from the summit of Mount Wilson, the tallest sandstone peak in Red Rock. If you follow the First Creek Canyon Trail all the way up the canyon you can find your way to the summit. Expect some scrambling and boulder hopping along the way!!

Did you know that MLK Day is also designated as the national day of service? 👀
The MLK Day of Service helps us to come together as a community, break down walls, and share love and equality while solving social problems, and bringing us closer Martin Luther King’s vision.
MLK Day of Service is Monday, but here is an opportunity to serve this weekend! If that doesn’t work for you, you can find more ideas on JustServe.com ... See MoreSee Less

ADVENTURE SATURDAY!!
Sunrises are the best in the Mojave Desert, specifically in Red Rock Canyon. Ok, we may be a little biased, but can you argue after scrolling through these views from the top of Kraft Mountain? 😉
