About a half hour south of Las Vegas on a lonely highway with a few shiny and remote casinos, there are some mountains of limestone hills that have some interesting geology to them.. I have been wondering if these hills will be home to a few caves but I have not been able to locate anything as of now. There are a few mines in the area but, more importantly, the state line hills have 4 canyoneering routes that might appeal to a lot of canyoneers. This particular canyon was a rough road to the TH and only about an hour hike up to the top.

 Ladder of Doom canyon was not that appealing to me as the drops were a bit open but the limestone was interesting to see.  regardless, it only took 2 hours to get through the canyon and I was back at the car, driving off the alluvial fan.  There are three other canyons here and I am willing to make another stop here to check them out.
