We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner full of ham, chicken, and Nina made cranberry sauce to go on top. It was all very good! However, we all felt a little guilty and a bit heavier the next morning so we decided to get some fresh air and head out into the mountains for a scenic afternoon. We picked Red Rock since it was close to the house and it is always an enjoyable Park. Lately, Red Rock has changed their policy requiring a prior arranged reservation for park access. We, as locals, were well aware of the change but noticed many families getting turned away at the gate. It was pleasant to have fewer guests in the park and hopefully will lead to long-term recovery of the park.
Nina and I have hiked many of the trails at Red Rock so we picked one we haven't done yet. We agreed on a trail called Keystone Thrust. It is marked as a intermediate trail with scenic views. As we parked the car to set off on our afternoon stroll, we quickly got into our vibe. Winston naturally led the way only making a few wrong turns here and there. It's tough when your eyes are only a foot and a half off the ground.
