My Last Day in Las Vegas

spring mountains

After my very late night ride, the only scheduled activity was a tour of the North Las Vegas Teleport, and lunch.
I picked up a map and found my way there on the bike, instead of riding the bus with the rest of the group.  I got there first, and got a personal tour of some of the facility.
 
I said my goodbye's and tooled out highway US-95 up into the mountains.
 
Crusing up US-95, take the loop around highway 156 -158 -157 up into Mt Charleston for a break from the Vegas heat!

cactus and snow

Here is a roadside picture of the cactus in the forground, and snowcapped mountains in the background.

As Far as I could go, up toward Mt. Charleston.  Spring mountain ski resort was at the end of the road here.  The two lane was in excellent shape and a great ride winding up the mountain side.

Here is the parking lot of the ski area, you can see the lifts in the background.

hotel pool

After an afternoon on the highway, I returned the bike and went back to the hotel for my bags.  I grabbed my suit and spent some time in the hot tub and pool before heading to the strip.
 
A great day !

Had just enough time for some dinner and a walk about on the strip before I caught the plane home.
