Red Rock

Last weekend we went hiking at Red Rock.  Warning to those who go in the future – distance and level of difficulty printed on trail maps is wrong!  We picked a 6 mile easy/moderate hike.  Two miles in we discovered it was a difficult hike.  But we had already gone this far and figured we could finish the 4 miles left on the loop…we were wrong.  According to our google tracker the hike was 8 miles and 1200 ft of elevation.  The map said 400.  We did finally make it back to the truck, it just took an hour longer than expected.

These were everywhere.  You really had to watch where you walked and stay on the trail.

Almost done and we walked through a herd of big horn sheep.

If you look closely you can see the big horn sheet behind and to the left of Jeremy and Ty in this picture.  Ty’s face says it all about the length of this hike.
