After exploring the nearby Nelson Ghost Town, we drove to the Colorado River. Along the river is a stateline, by the way, dividing Nevada and Arizona. 


Spending a day in El Dorado Canyons reminded me of the many things I loved about touring around the US - it's so wide and it feels like you're jumping from one "world" to another just by driving through different state and national parks. I may be a little bit bias here 'cause I'm a mountain person so looking at the mountains is enough to excites me. 


We set-up our barbecue spot in the shore and that on the right side of the photo is the cliff jumping site. It doesn't look high in the photo above but it was around 60 feet. HAHA! 


My highest cliff jumping experience was during the canyoneering trip in Cebu and that was 50 feet. I just didn't felt safe jumping here 'cause I was doing it alone. AHAHAA

Canyoneering in Cebu link: here.


My friends were thoughtful in preparing everything we needed for that afternoon. Nakakatouch! AHAHAHA!


From the girly Margarita Budlight to this Michelob Ultra. :)))



Ilang ako 'yung height nung cliff? hehehe. 




I was really thinking of jumping but I backed out because I suddenly feared the height! HAHA. Lesson learned tho, in once in a lifetime moments like this, GO NA. :)))



I would totally want to go back to Utah and Arizona to explore more of their National Parks.

Zion's National Park is still one of my favorite places until now.

There's something about being up in the mountains just looking at the vastness of the Earth. <3 Plus points kasi wala masyadong tao here. Who would think that this is only an hour and a half drive away from the Las Vegas Strip?

Nelson Ghost Town, Nevada

San punta? :))
I don't know much about this place's history other than this used to be an area rich in gold, silver, copper, and lead. Ghost towns are usually towns that used to be prosperous but are now deserted.

Nelson Ghost Town, Nevada

When I heard that we were once again going to a ghost town, I felt frightened for a bit 'cause I was reminded of the other ghost town that we visited in Death Valley National Park before.

Rhyolite Ghost Town link: here.

Anyway, this place is located in El Dorado Canyon, Clark County, Nevada.

This is a great photospot if you're into IG feed goals. Time stopped at this place too but unlike other ghost towns you'd see in Nevada - this place isn't a bit eerie. I don't know. It's probably because of the mountainous backdrop that even if this place has been deserted for decades, it wasn't scary at all. A lot like an outdoor musuem/filming location of a Wild West themed movie for me.

Nelson Ghost Town, Nevada

I don't know if you can use these picnic tables but just in case you're going here, it's best to bring drinks and food with you 'cause I don't think there are stores or restaurants in the vicinity.
 

You can join a mine tour for $15 per pax if you want to learn more about the place's history or want to see the gold mines. For us though, our day was packed that time so we just opted to walk around and take photos by ourselves.

Nelson Ghost Town, Nevada
  
Grateful for friends who freed their schedule to tour me around Nevada.... again. :)) Memories that I'll cherish forever. hehe. 



This kinda reminded me of the movie "Cars." This place is kinda like Radiator Springs which is also a rundown desert town with a mountainous backdrop. 

Disneyland and California Adventures, Anaheim, California

Other places to visit if you're tired of the LV strip (LOL):

There's a cliff jumping area called Nelson's Landing that is along the Colorado River but I haven't posted about it yet.

I've passed through this area countless times but I never knew that a lot of people have been doing target shooting behind the mountains in the desert along Interstate 15.

Seven Magic Mountain Link: Here. 

My friend brought me here after going to the seven magic mountains. I'm not sure where this place is exactly. There are rules regarding the distance of where you're target shooting and the interstate. My friend is a security personnel in a hotel in Las Vegas strip so he's trained and careful enough that I agreed to do this there. 



No clean ups. 

You'd see magazines of different guns in the area.

Anyway, I've always thought that no one goes to this area. Turns out a lot of people do. 



We were targeting bottles of water the entire time. 


Proud of myself for being able to shoot several targets. HAHAHA! 


Not the first time I held a gun and did target shooting. Had the chance to do this back in high school which is already ten years ago.... time flies..... who would've thought I'll be able to go to the states twice in this decade. lol. drama. next decade ulet, sayang multiple-entry. haha

I lived in Las Vegas in 2016 so I always passed by I-15 but I never had the chance to go nearer before. It was constructed sometime in May 2016 so not a lot of people have been going there yet that time, probably the reason why we didn't go is 'cause we didn't know more information about it. Can't remember. Haha!

USA 2016: Red Rock Canyon Conservation, Nevada

FYI: I-15 is the interstate is the highway that runs through several states from California to the Intermountain West. (Nevada. Montana, Utah, Arizona and Idaho)


For the Seven Magic Mountains, you can find this art installation along the California - Las Vegas segment of the I-15. Although it is a lot closer to the latter than the former. 


I was told that it was only supposed to be there until 2018 but it was extended until the end of 2021. So there, made sure to visit it the last time I was in Vegas.

I didn't expect the boulder pillars to be that tall. They were around 30 feet in height! 


I was looking at my post about my last day in Las Vegas four years ago and man, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwalang nakabalik ako. To think na magi-isang taon na 'to bago ko na-post dito. :)))


See you again, my love link: here.


Best to come out here in the morning to avoid the crowd. There were a lot of people that time so we weren't able to take lots of photos.

 After walking around Downtown, Reno we drove to Outlets at Legends in hopes of finding cheaper rubber shoes and all 'cause we were told that there was a big markdown sale days before we arrived. But it wasn't sale anymore so the prices of the shoes (Nike's to be exact) were similar to the prices in the outlets of Las Vegas and Primm. I was able to buy a bottle of Bath and Body Works body mist there though - the blue cotton that I've been looking for. 

Cloud Steets?

Can anyone  tell me the name of this cloud formation. 
Buti pa dito, may sparks!! hahaha.

Sparks, Nevada
Like the Outlet Stores in Vegas.
Most of the stores are also the same.
Then we went back to Reno to drop our friend and eat before driving to San Francsico. 
More wall murals. 
We ate at this packed Vietnamese Restaurant which name I forgot.
The food and bus fare are two to three dollars cheaper here than in Las Vegas. 
KNOW WHEN TO STOP!!!

HAHAHA I've gotten over with the gambling problems. Iba pag sa casino natambay eh. Di maiwasan. haha!
Off we go to San Francisco! <3
As much as I want to stay awake to look at the view, huhuhu, I still fell asleep most of the time. 
64 miles to Sacramento. 
115 miles away from the last stop of our Jadine Roas Trip!!

THIS IS IT. AMOY NA AMOY KO NA SAN FRANCISCO!! PERO MAS AMOY NA AMOY KO NA PILIPINAS!!!! HAHAHAHA!!! Such a bitter sweet day for us. :)))
