The area east of Las Vegas has a lot of the red-rock formations that I remembered from the trip to Vegas. Sadly it doesn't photograph well from the plane.




If I'd never been to Las Vegas I'd probably never recognize it from the air. But this is definitely it.




I knew it was Vegas because I could see the Strip (marked with arrows) right next to the airport.




Smog? What smog? The air was perfectly clear over Las Vegas, but choked with smoky haze over LA. If it was clearer, you could probably make out the Hollywood sign in the hills to the left.
