Our next stop was supposed to be Red Rock Canyon. Apparently, A LOT of other people had the same thought, because when we arrived, it was closed off to incoming cars. We parked on the side of the road and D talked to the ranger. He said that the situation would be reassessed in a couple of hours! Well, we did not have time to wait around, so we headed back a couple of exits and pulled off at Calico Hills, which was still open to the public.
You could still see some red rocks, so that was cool.
We did a short hike. I recently became a Friends of Bobo Ambassador, so I thought that I should bring some Bobo’s Oat Bars for sustenance.
Yup, I’m even rockin’ the Bobo’s t-shirt!
Bobo’s Oat Bars were invented by a mother-daughter duo in Boulder, Colorado. They started selling them at local cafes, and their business took off from there. (Love those types of stories!) These oat bars are so delicious and hearty. I like that they are not overly sweet. They are also dairy-free and gluten-free. These bars make a perfect on-the-go snack! You can find them in stores near you here, Amazon, or order directly from their site. I also visited them at Expo West, and was able to try their new toaster pastries–yum! If you want to become a Friends of Bobo Ambassador, please tell them that LimByLim referred you!
I need to get these two to loosen up for photos!
Although the rocks we were able to see were pretty impressive, I was disappointed that we were unable to drive the scenic loop. I guess we will have to make a return visit!
