Layered

Turtlehead Peak, a mountain visible from nearly any spot in Vegas. With its signature shape, I'd probably call it something a little more badass, like Sabretooth Peak. The way it thrusts sharply out of the landscape. It's intimidating, especially for the way the setting sun often casts rays of light across its bow, the way low-lying storm clouds curl around it. This photo gives the peak context, right in the heart of Red Rock Canyon. We will climb this one day soon.
