Red Rock Canyon- CLOSED by lesip

Red Rock Canyon- CLOSED

Waited one day to long for our visit to the canyon because of the government shutdown the scenic loop was closed and guarded by a police car. I did have Bob pull over a few times to get some roadside pictures. Made sure I included the barbed wire to remind me CLOSED......

somehow I screwed up dates so moving this to my extras album. sorry if I lose your comments.
Why do they have to punish the ordinary people for their stupid behaviour? What a shame!

It all sounds pretty scary in the USA at the moment with things being shut down and all that. Lovely shot.

Closing the National Parks is disgraceful. How on earth does this nonsense help anyone?

It's really sad that the parks are closed. Hope you get a chance to go back Like the colors in your photo

Is there a reason the National Parks have been closed? Lovely shot by the way!

@pamknowler they are funded by the government and deemed non essential . Even though some of the individual states have offered to pay to keep them open they were told no.

Terrific commemorative shot of the idiocy that is our government! Seriously it is beautiful composition, color and POV!

Still beautiful! Hopefully it will all be over soon and you can get to see the sights!

Great composition in this fantastic place. Isn't it gorgeous. I visited a couple of years ago and loved it.

Such a beautiful photo, Leslie. Sorry you were not able to go in this time. Planned a day trip to San Francisco and the entire Presidio is closed, parking lots and restrooms are not accessible. Just wanted to see what I have not seen in years and take some photos but not going to happen. So many out of work and so many told to leave their vacation destinations.
