Feeling drained on the Strip? Nature and fun await when you take a drive to Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire State Park, the Colorado River’s Black Canyon or the Las Vegas Ballpark.
I have a new system for beating the casinos in Las Vegas: I don't spend a penny on the slots, the tables or the sports books. Instead, I bet heavily on red and green. Red rocks and green waters, that is. Hiking and kayaking. I tested the system on a series of day trips last month. Though I slept three nights in a hotel on the Strip, I headed out of town every day. First: Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
Four miles of kayaking, with a cave in the middle and a stop to hop out for a view, is just about perfect for a three-hour excursion. I paid $110. If you go: The best time for Emerald Cave photos is said to be midday, when I was there. But if you get there early or late, you'll have less company. There's a store at Willow Beach Marina that sells snacks, sunblock, hats, water shoes, dry bags and boating and fishing supplies; open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily in summer.
