Go On A Winter Hike
Getting more exercise is a new year’s resolution staple. However, it can be hard to find the motivation after the holidays’ festivities. That’s why we love mixing up our exercise routine with gorgeous winter hikes. This is a fantastic way to get that step count going and take in Nevada’s natural wonders while avoiding our astronomical temperatures! Liberty Bell Arch is closed in the summer due to extreme temperatures, so there’s no better time than now to check it out. This six-mile trail is suitable for hikers of all skill levels and covers some outstanding spots! You’ll make your way past the colossal Liberty Bell Arch, a WWII-era mine, the remains of a mining cable car, and down to the tip of Black Canyon overlooking the 1,000ft-deep Colorado River gorge!
A Candlelight Show
There’s a special magic when attending an intimate musical experience, particularly by flickering candlelight. The Candlelight concerts in Las Vegas are an excellent way to get away from all the bustle of our everyday. There you’ll sit back while enjoying music from some of the county’s finest musicians. This month you can listen to beautiful music from the British band Queen by Candlelight at the Industrial.
