The barren desert spreads out for miles under the last rays of the afternoon sun. Long shadows are cast by the sparse vegetation. I find that the deserts have a compelling beauty that I find irresistible. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is a beautiful U.S. Bureau of Land Management area on the western edge of the Las Vegas Valley, featuring unmatchable natural beauty. Calico Basin Red Springs area features spectacular red and white sandstone cliffs and, as the name implies, there are many natural springs that feed the abundant vegetation and attract a variety of interesting wildlife. © 2018 ; Art Style; landscape; Tags: desert, mountains mountain, deserts, rocks, cliffs, arid, red rocks, red rocks nevada, frank wilson, desert scenery, hiking trail, hiking trails, nevada, nevada desert, nevada deserts, sandstone, valley of fire, rock outcropping, red sandstone, sandstone, cliffs, hikers, sky, clouds, desert plants, spring mountains, valley of fire, valley of fire nevada, beautiful desert, beautiful deserts; Media: photography; Materials: Photography.
