Red Rock River – Las Vegas, Nevada

Red Rock River captures the Rainbow Mountain in Red Rock Canyon the day after a rare snowfall in the Spring Mountains west of Las Vegas in this high resolution large format fine art print. With years of hiking First Creek Trail, AJ knew the rains would bring water flowing through the wash and set up with a tripod and ND filter to create the silky effect in the creek and a soft blur in the moving clouds above. That timing—right after a storm, when the desert briefly transforms—offered a perspective few ever see. The washes around Red Rock only flow after snowmelt or heavy rain, making moments like this fleeting and unpredictable.

While most visitors experience Red Rock on clear, sunny days, AJ seeks out the uncommon conditions that reveal the Mojave Desert’s hidden drama, where water, stone, and sky come together for just a short window in time.
