Bristlecone

Cathedral Rock

The Cathedral Rock Area is one of the most beautiful places in the Springs, the views are stunning. Here 's a few shots from where the picnic area backs up to the South Loop area.

Flying high over Red Rock

Flying over the Red Rock NCA is always a treat; I try to set myself up with a good seat for shppting. The light was harsh and lot of haze; I battled with this image for a while then played around with it in black & white...much nicer.

Rockin' the Refuge

The Desert National Wildlife Refuge is one of the Wildest places in southern Nevada and certainly one of the most beautiful.

Fallen Tree...on the trail

We hike about a mile up the North Loop and got this tree off the trail. It's good work when you can get it.

Fallen Leaves...Lost Gold

Just as summer is long gone from the mountains so are the leaves of gold. It was 39 degrees today on the South Loop Trail...the smell of wood smoke along with a bite in the air...the tourists were gone as well as the hikers headed up and down to pay their respects to Mt Charleston. Fall has settled in to the Springs.

Teaming up for Gold Butte

Friends of Nevada Wilderness went out to Gold Butte for National Public Lands Day to support the Friends of Gold Butte in their good work to restore and protect the beautiful landscape and cultural resources of Gold Butte for present and future generations. Special thanks to all the volunteers from both groups who worked so hard in the hot sun to make a difference for the Wild.

Late Summer on the North Loop Trail

I love the North Loop Trail. It never seems as crowded as going up the South Loop and the views of Mt Charleston seem just a bit more majestic. Here's a few that I never got around to posting until now; it was a cool summer day it look and felt like fall. I just couldn't capture the dancing light of Mummy the way I wanted...maybe the old man was playing with me.
