Story

We were hoping to hike to Cathedral Rock, but when we got to the trailhead the parking lot was full and a police officer was directing traffic away. So we tried parking up the road at a shuttle stop, but that parking lot was full too. Rather than fight the crowds, we opted to head over to Red Rock State Park instead. We stopped at the visitor center first and the kids did their Junior Ranger booklet activities. Then we went out back and hiked several of the trails in a big loop. We were not very impressed because the trails just kind of wandered around and the landmarks that were shown on the map were not very interesting. After the hike, we went back to the visitor center so the kids could receive their buttons.
