Rockport, Massachusetts is another of those places you have probably never heard of, which is exactly the kind of place that makes for an ideal New England getaway weekend. It’s a short,? scenic hour’s drive from Boston.
Rockport’s character is that of a cultural haven within a classic New England seaside village. Interesting, eh? Imagine a picturesque town on a harbor called Sandy Bay at the very tip of a peninsula (Cape Ann) and surrounded on 3 sides by the mighty Atlantic Ocean.
Imagine Las Vegas and you have images of neon lights, casinos and maybe a spectacular show. But Vegas has much more to offer than the expected modern pleasures. Fewer than 20 miles from The Strip is a different kind of spectacular view: Red Rock Canyon.
With 1.2 million visitors per year it’s hardly an unknown option. But seeing this magnificent group of sandstone cliffs and canyons isn’t the sort of thing that immediately comes to mind when you picture a Vegas vacation. But it should. They’re amazing.
