The Redrock Mountains are just West of where my brother lives, about a 20 minute drive. We spent the 1st day there exploring these awesome mountains that are red due to the iron that was in the water when these mountains were under water.

Nice Formation.

Turtlehead mountain on the right.

More of the Redrocks!

Amazing landscape.

Lunch!

We were just out in that vicinity last weekend, although we didn't make it to the mountains, just the Red Rock Casino. Wink

I wish I was there, I love that part of the world. Now in the last pic, judging by the clarety of the beer, I am guessing the one on the right is Bud Light. The left could be Fosters?

Flying with twins is a lot of fun..

The left beer can't be a Fosters, looks more like a Hef or a wheat beer, looking at the beers on tap in the shot my guess is Pyramid.

Hi Meck! Those are the real colors. A little tweaking on each photo but believe me, those rocks are that red. And the sky the days I was there was that blue! I had great weather which made for some great shots.

You are correct! The beer on the left was mine and it is a wheat beer. Don't remember which wheat it was though...
