Calico Bouldering Expedition

Today I hiked at my favorite local location, Red Rock National Park. It costs $7 per vehicle to get in, but I have the year pass so it's not a problem. One of my favorite places to boulder hike is on the Calico rocks. We parked at the first parking lot, Calico 1. It wasn't busy when we got there but by the time we left it was packed. Today my boyfriend and I had to climb up steep boulders, fit in tiny cracks, and leap from rock to rock, all of which you wouldn't expect from just looking at the rocks from the distance. The hike required me to utilize my non-existent arm strength, which i'm really try to improve on. It was about 65 degrees at 9 in the morning which made it extra beautiful outside. The view from the top of the Calico rocks today was worth the exhausting hike and the tired legs.

My favorite part of the day was when we were leaving and found the legendary Alex Honnold's van in the parking lot. 

how could I not take a picture next to it? I also left him a note to let him know how amazing I think he is. Hopefully he doesn't think that i'm too creepy
