04_01 to 14_2015 Red Rocks, then Joshua Tree with Rick A

Dave headed out west for another adventure. He stopped at Kolob Canyon en route for a hike. Beautiful area. 
Kolob is essentially a part of Zion, but it seems disconnected. For more about it, go to here: http://www.utah.com/nationalparks/zion/kolob_canyons.htm

A pretty Wild Turkey hen was also out going for a hike the same day. Dave headed on - his first destination was Red Rocks in the Vegas area.
Red Rocks...though this part isn't very red is it?
Selfie!
Cactus
Dave stayed with our friends Dick and Natalie. They recently acquired a second dog. This little puppy was a dynamo of energy and quite entertaining I heard.
Some climbing. Honestly, as I wasn't there, it's hard for me to do these captions. Hopefully Dave will come back later and fill in with some substance. Is that Rick A up there?
The second coming up. Dave's foot?
Not sure who this is - I think Dave connected with someone online?
Successfully returning to the car.
Dave's victory shot for the day. :)
This is definitely Dave and Rick A....in Joshua Tree.
Not sure which Josh climb this is....
But this I know is Pinched Rib. Super fun route.
Looks like they are on top of a J-Tree formation
Racking up for the next adventure.

And Rick A pointing to the Space Station. I believe Rick hadn't been in the Space Station for 30 years or so!
Enjoying a brew in the Space Station. Or hopefully this isn't before going into the Space Station. Fall on that approach and it's going to leave a mark (like a smear mark on the ground).
