Kayaking from the Hoover Dam down the colorado river and exploring the hot springs (April 2015).

Las Vegas is (surprisingly) a great place to live if you love the outdoors. There are endless trails to run/hike/scramble and world class rock climbing in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area as well as many National Parks within driving distance. I’ve only lived here for a few months so here is a small selection of close-by adventures. More to come...
