Pretty gnarled formation called "Elephant" in Valley of Fire...
Crossing my fingers I get to explore what surrounds the City of Sin, rather than just drinking in the pool. Atypical college student weekend aspirations, right?

Vegas Geology
Valley of Fire is pretty far northeast from the strip, but who knows maybe I'll get to check out these rocks reminiscent of Sedona (where my mom lives-ish).
Compensating
On the way out to Vegas are some awesome sandstone formations I can't wait to check out this weekend...

Headed to Las Vegas for the first time this weekend: not quite my cup of tea, but those without cars cannot always choose their weekend destinations.
I snagged a copy of a Nevada roadside geology guide for good measure and hope to get out to Lake Mead for some fishing (for the boy) and photography. I'm hoping to see sandstone formations and a glimpse of the volcanic cones scattered behind the lake... but we'll see how interested my silly boy companions are in leaving The Strip.
