Presidents' Day at the spectacular Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. Enjoy your public lands today!

Even in the desert, the mountains of Red Rock Canyon can become blanketed with snow. During winter, full-sun hikes like Turtlehead Peak and Pine Creek are a perfect reason to get out of the city and enjoy your public lands

"The truck pitched and yawed as we snaked our way across Arizona’s Paria Plateau and slogged through the deep channels of sandy roads that traverse the desert terrain. Our route this trip lead north across the plateau to a destination known among backcountry travelers as simply, 'White Pockets'; one of the few remote locations within the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument that to me, still feels largely like an adventure and expedition." -- Photographer Rachel Tueller 

Check back next week, when we'll post the full story and more photos from Rachel's trip
