In the Spring Mountains

This week we moved from Red RockCanyon, near LasVegas to one of the National Forest campgrounds about 25 miles north of LasVegas. We are at 7,000 to 7,500 feet in altitude, so we have gone from 95-100 degree weather to quite a pleasent climate, with very cool nights. We are on the lower slopes, I beleive of Mount Charleston. At any rate there are some snow-covered peaks near us.

Below see some picthres we took of a hike into Fletcher Canyon. This was about a three mile round-trip hike, that started through pleasant woods, with lots of Ponderosa Pines, and eventually came to a small stream . We then followed the stream bed into what eventully became a slot canyon and ended up with three small, but very beautiful waterfalls.

Then we travelled home, had a visit from family, so we had a picnic supper, followed by Grandpa and Great Grandchild Christie making somoas.
