I came out to Las Vegas from San Diego to do this challenge. The Red Rock Canyon is a beautiful place! The rock  formations are so amazing to watch throughout the day, as the light changes the colors and the shadows.

I’m not usually a complainer, but I have one complaint about this one. I realize that it is a very popular train, but that does not mean people should not respect trails. I have never seen a trail that had so many trail markers and so many off trail routes. It was very confusing.
Turtlehead is a challenging hike and I felt challenged by the hike and was glad I had this challenge to introduce me to the wonderful hiking in the Las Vegas Area!
