Pahrump, NV (Ash Meadows-DV, Red Rock Canyon & Wheeler Pass)

May 28-31, 2013

We decided to travel up the West side of Nevada on Route 95, with a small exception of taking Route 160 up through Pahrump.  Since we are Escapees members I wanted to visit the SKP Park.  We stayed there 4 nights and it only cost us $15.  More evidence of our cheapness.

From here we visited the Red Rock Canyon:


This was a national park...so it was free to get into!
While it was nice, I really liked Valley of Fire better.

We next took a dune buggy ride up though Wheeler Pass & Spring Mountain:




......and flowers along the way!!!

Ash Meadows (part of Death Valley park system):



The bottom right picture is Devil's Hole.  It is hot spring, they do not want
anyone in it.  I barely touched the gate and the alarm went off.  That was
a bit scary.
 On our ride in the area, we found some Desert Art:



Just some fun stuff!!

On to the next adventure......
