Mt. Shasta

Mt. Shasta is located at the northern extremity of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range located in Siskiyou County in Northern California. Mt. Shasta is the cone of an extinct volcano rising to a height of over 14,380 feet above sea level. It is the largest volcanic peak in the continental United States.
Mt. Shasta is a special place. The mountain is a mystic power source. It is the focus for angels, spirits, spaceships, and the Lemurians. Strange lights, clouds, shadows and sunsets add to the mystical aura of the mountain.
A long tunnel stretches away, far into the interior of majestic Mt. Shasta. The Lemurians lie at the tunnel's far end. Using their mastery over sound and vibrations they hollowed out an underground city. Lemuria was once a great continent connected to parts of California, Oregon, and Washington. Lemuria disappeared into the Pacific Ocean many thousands of years ago in a vast cataclysm. Some Lemurian people migrated to Mt. Shasta when their continent began to sink.
The Saint Germain Foundation is an organization with a worldwide membership of over five thousand people that began when the group's founder, Guy W. Ballard, claimed to have had an encounter with the "Ascended Master" Saint Germain on the slopes of Mt. Shasta in 1930. Ballard stopped one day at a mountain spring for a drink and felt a strange current pass through his body. Then he encountered Saint Germain. Germain gave Ballard some small cakes which gave him a new sense of health and clearness of mind.

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is one of the greatest sights in Yellowstone National Park. It's also a great example of a canyon.
Canyons don't form everywhere, only in places where a river is cutting downward much faster than the rocks it cuts are weathering. That creates a deep valley with steep, rocky sides. Here, the Yellowstone River is strongly erosive because it carries a lot of water at a steep gradient down from the high, uplifted plateau around the huge Yellowstone caldera. As it cuts its way downward, the sides of the canyon fall into it and are carried away.
The famous yellow rocks here are thick deposits of welded volcanic ash, built up as the Yellowstone hot spot has torched its way through the North American crustal plate. The hot spot is not dead, only resting between eruptions.

Red Rocks

Red Rocks

• Description
  Over thousands of documented routes
  Best climbing during the spring and Fall
  Las Vegas has over 120,000 rooms availible if you don't want to camp.

Only minutes outside of Las Vegas, NV., people have flown into Vegas in the morning, climbed all day, and have returned home that evening. Red Rocks National Conservation Area is comprised of numerous deep canyons with towering walls up to three thousand feet tall. During the winter months, snow caps the upper formations lending an alpine feel reminiscent of wetter climates. The area is a true desert complete with numerous types of cactus and even an endangered band of wild burros.

Red Rocks I

Red Rocks is probably the most accessible winter climbing venue in the United States. It is only a couple hours drive from Joshua Tree, CA. and the Canyon Lands, UT. The climbing is unique with highly textured sandstone characteristic of holds found in a climbing gym. A great destination for boulderers, sport climbers and traditional crack climbers.

Pros
Climbable during the winter
Diverse terrain, bouldering, sport and long multi-pitch climbing
Great sandstone formations

Cons
A little too close to Las Vegas
Camping is available but rather sterile
Very hot during the summer
