So I went on my first hike... well I have been on one other one that I can remember but that was so long ago. I have told people for years that I don't like the outdoors... but I wanted to see Red Rock Canyon and I figured I had to over come my fear in order to do it.
I asked Jon to take me, and surprisingly he was willing to do it. We did a simple, flat trail but ended up hiking in the dark. And you know what, I actually liked it. I was surprised and I think Jon was too!
Red Rock Canyon... when we got there... see how its still light outside.

Starting to get a little darker...
Jon said I need proof that I was actually out in the wilderness... and he was right. Now people can't say that I didn't do it.

The Trail...
Getting a little darker... but still having fun. So I didn't want to turn around yet.
We stopped on a rock and I decided to see what I could get with the camera... obviously it wasn't much.
Yeah... I was adventurous and nuts all in one. Still out in the desert and its dark.
This was about 15 minutes before we started our hike back out.
We got back to the car at 9pm after starting at about 6:30pm. Jon was surprised that I made it that long and really I was too. It was fun. We saw the International Space Station and the Shuttle following it. But we didn't know it was that when we saw it in the sky. I found that out the next day when I went to work. And we saw a shooting start which was really cool... you know I have seen the sky before but seeing it without all the city lights and pollution it was a totally different experience.
