Danielle: This picture came out much better. A different angle from where we are standing. I love the assortment of color on the sandstone!

Tad: As Danielle mentioned, this is a much better picture of the rock. Straight ahead, The peak -- half in shadow -- visible above the vanishing point of the road is called Rainbow Wall. Check out a better picture of Rainbow Wall here, in the section entitled On to Vegas and Red Rocks. It has many great, long (around 1300 feet), multi pitch trad routes. One day when my outdoor climbing experience level is much higher, I'll come back do some climbs there. It is a very beautiful peak to look at.
