Red Rock Arch

Arch, Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Nevada.

When you see an arch in red rock sandstone you might be thinking we took a detour to Moab, Utah and Arches National Park, but you would be wrong.  This was in Lake Mead NNRA.

I think there are a lot of undiscovered gems in the seldom visited area.  First, the North Shore Road near Lake Mead receives very little traffic.  But by turning off that road onto a 4×4 road and the amount of traffic drops to just a handful per day.  Then, by pulling over at an almost random location and hiking pretty much assures us of being the only humans for miles.  I look forward to spending more time poking around in this area.
