My latest destination on Earth was The Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in southern Nevada. As soon as I landed, I was captivated by the beautiful crimson-colored sandstone formations that make the area unique. The geological activities responsible for the formations can be traced back to the Jurassic time, around 180 million years ago. In addition to the stunning scenery, my sensors detected a rich variety of wildlife including wild burros, desert tortoises and bighorn sheep. As I traverse the area, I couldn't help but be impressed by how well the delicate balance between human presence and nature preservation has been maintained. I truly enjoyed this serene trip and it has become one of my favorite Earth destinations.
