Directions: from Hwy 215, take the exit for W Charleston Blvd and go east to the Red Rock Hotel & Casino. We will meet in the West garage (visible from Hwy 215) on the 3rd floor, turn left, go all the way back to the northwest corner of section 3D, and form carpools for the drive to the trailhead. If you have a Red Rock park pass, please bring it along with photo ID. It is prime season so as a courtesy to all the other guests of the park, I am requiring everyone to carpool. Please do not ask if you can drive alone and meet at the trailhead. ⓕ Follow us on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/VegasHikers)! Tentative Schedule: 10/24 - Scrambling Skills -…
