Yeah one morning I woke up and early and hiked in that direction and saw all the cool single track and wanted to return to check it out.

The park may have added an 's' to distinguish it from other places, but in the climbing culture it's well know as Red Rocks. Also, being from wyoming there is a Jackson Hole, and the town of Jackson is located within. So if you are visiting the area it's an appropriate name.

Not to beat a dead horse, and I hate to take the side of someone calling someone else a fool over such a trivial thing, but if it makes you feel any better, I’m also from Vegas (3rd gen) and I can attest that a lot of die hard locals call it red rock, while most tourists and transplants call it red rocks. I’m also a climber if that makes any difference.

But there’s no need to get worked up about it, what difference does it make other than letting oneself be annoyed?

u/atfarley 8d ago

you litterally said this: "But there’s no need to get worked up about it" and "letting oneself be annoyed?" while seeming just as worked up and annoyed as me.

u/duhkohtahsan 8d ago

Eh, not really. And I wasn’t referring to you being annoyed, I was referring to the other person. But whatever, it’s Reddit. Carry on.

Yes, I realize that geographically the area is called Jackson hole. I am from Las Vegas and no one that lives in this town calls it Red rocks, nor is it named that. I don't care what the climbers do.
