We are having a wonderful sunny escape in
Nevada.

We're here for 3 days so we're going to be
road tripping.

I mean we're trading in what our winter jackets
for shorts and t-shirts.

Always gotta love that and we're really excited
to be back in Nevada.

The last time we were here was what in 2015?

And we mostly explored Vegas and the surrounding
regions so this time it is all about the state.

So we're going to be visiting state parks
and some of the lakes and doing outdoorsy

And I hope that we can visit some quirky like
roadside attractions as well too.

Our trip began in Las Vegas, but having already
been there before, we wasted no time on the

After a short night’s rest, we grabbed a
hearty breakfast, hopped in our rental car,

and hit the road for our first stop of the
day: Lake Mead.

So the plan for today is to go kayaking in
Black Canyon but we still have a little bit

of time this morning so we're stopping off
in Lake Mead and also Hoover Dam.

Both of those are along the way and there
comes Sam.

Yeah, there is some pretty good shots but
I think like you have to be walking along

the path a bit further for you to get a better
vantage point of the lake.

Yeah, we're going to be making a lot of photo
stops on this road trip.

Lake Mead is the largest reservoir in the
US and it’s also a popular recreation spot,

so we kicked off our morning with some light
hiking and lots of photo taking, because just

So we just finished doing a little bit of
hiking.

Now we're heading back to our car and next
up is Hoover Dam.

We got an upgrade so we're driving a Camaro.

Chevy Camaro and I've got the keys in my pocket.

We're going to skip the tour today but we're
going to check the dam out.

Hoover Dam is one of the most visited attractions
in Nevada with as many as 1 million people

taking the tour every year, and even more
driving across the dam.

Fun fact: there is enough concrete in Hoover
Dam to build a 4 foot wide sidewalk around

Sam has lathered himself up in sunscreen.

Yeah, apparently this is going to be a 3 hour
kayaking tour so yeah we do need lots of sunscreen.

Alright, and the kayaks are already on the
water so let's go.

Kayaking in Black Canyon was the highlight
of the day.

We lucked out with blue skies, calm waters,
and the scenery was pretty spectacular - especially

once we entered the canyon where we were surrounded
by rock walls.

Halfway up stream we took a break from kayaking
and went on a short hike.

Our guide told us a little bit about about
the flora and fauna you can find in this region.

We also stopped at the Emerald Cave, which
gets it’s name from the bright emerald green

Day two, so we're going to the Valley of Fire.

We're leaving just after eight so all packed
up, all ready to go.

We had an hour’s journey to reach the Valley
of Fire that morning, and it was a very leisurely

drive down some scenic stretches of road.

We knew we were getting closer to the park
when we noticed the landscape colours started

Alright guys so we're almost at the entrance
for the Valley of Fire Park and we just keep

It is so scenic and the rocks are so red.

Like the colors are so rich and saturated.

So yeah, Sam is getting more photos and more
video for us and then we're going to drive

We've just been stopping off a lot to snap
photos.

I keep saying Audrey pull over pull over we've
got to get a shot of that so it has been really

Once we entered Valley of Fire State Park,
the fun began.

This park is known for its rock formations,
panoramic vistas, and hiking trails, so there

One of the most impressive stops was Seven
Sisters, where you have seven massive red

sandstone boulders sitting on a relatively
flat landscape, but really, you can’t go

wrong with the views here no matter what direction
you look in.

Another stretch we really enjoyed was the
drive towards Mouse’s Tank, where you drive

Walls of red rock rise on either side of you,
and it almost like something out of Mars.

So I'm an avid collector of passport stamps
and you can actually get your passport stamped
