My first Las Vegas Adventure


Well I guess I can't really call it my first since this whole move has been one adventure after the next: finding a place to live, buying a car, working with TB, opening the show, adjusting to this weather. However, yesterday I finally did something fun. I went to Mt. Charleston where there is actually trees, and some greenery. It is also about 20 degrees cooler than in the valley. Though 80 degrees is still pretty warm for a hike. I decided to go on a smaller hike today to get adjusted to hiking again. (since living in NYC didn't allow me to hike much at all-except from 9ave to 5ave). the hike that I went on was called Cathedral Peak. It is about 3 miles round trip and it took me about 2 hours (including lunch at the top). It is a rather steep hike with an elevation of 1000 foot so many people are parked on the side to catch their breath. The sights were beautiful and it was a great first hike. The picture above is a view from the top. You can see the little road that I drove out to get the mountain. It was a great first adventure! And now that I know where the mountain is....I hope to get out there for a longer hike sometime soon!!
