The first stop on my itinerary was Amargosa Canyon, just across the California border from Las Vegas. A series of minor travel delays quickly accumulated, and by the time I was finally leaving Vegas it was clear that I wouldn’t make it to my planned destination for sunset. Luckily, there was still just enough time for plan B—twilight photos at Stump Spring.

Stump Spring is an area we're working to protect on the western border of Nevada. While it wasn't on my original itinerary, it seemed a suitable first stop as the gateway to the California desert. These areas are all interconnected—regardless of state or management boundaries—and that notion became abundantly clear with each new destination.
