Fall Break with Marie in The Valley of Fire State Park Nevada-We stopped on the road

We stopped so I could go see if it was possible
to see the Fire Wave from off the road.
It would have been a long hike.
But on the short hike I found some pretty cool shapes.



This little area was maybe 15 feet long 
and the height from the ground which
made it easy for me to look down through them.





Pretty cool.


You can see the road in this image. 
I didn't have to hike too far.
It looks like long way but I came in from the right
of this picture maybe 100 yards.

 

Fall Break with Marie in The Valley of Fire State Park Nevada-Fire Wave Trail

 The Fire Wave Trail was a pretty good hike
as well only this time we came back up on the same 
trail that we went to the Fire Wave on.

he mountains to the North looked like a 
pretty good set of waves but that 
wasn't where this trail went.




 A beautiful model sitting out the wave.


The images here give you a feel for
how big this area really was.



A face of sorts.


These rocks were scattered all along one area of the trail. 
It was hard to tell how they got there.


The rocks appear to be just a lot of layers of petrified sand.







Another image to portray the size of the area.




Notice the benches under this rock.
Not sure I would want to be sitting there in anearthquake.

This is the trail as it descends from 
near the parking area.

 In this picture are a mother and daughter that
were in front of us. 
Can you find them?

We had to hold up a couple of rocks while
we passed under them.



The trail was hard to walk through. 
A lot of sand.




Fall Break with Marie in The Valley of Fire State Park Nevada-White Dome Trail-more images

The trail exit went up a more gradual slope.
Some of these images were taken 
on the way back to the parking lot.




There were some pretty 
big rocks in the bottom.






Final trail to the road back to the parking area.
