Today we took a 137 mile loop tour of the "Valley Of Fire" state park north of Las Vegas. It was a perfect day for the trip, no wind, mild temperature (70) and just enough overcast to keep the sun from getting nasty. In another month or so this trip is likely to just be too warm for our webbed feet. Once in the State Park the landscape reminded both of us of the Moab, UT area where ARCHES and CANYONLANDS are located. Below we share a few pictures of todays geography lesson. We continue to discover how much more there is to the Las Vegas area then just "The Strip" (which we go out of our way to avoid.)
The trip back through the Lake Mead National Recreation Area was yet another geography lesson with lots of changes in formations and landscape. Wasn't prepared to take pictures of that so they will be the subject of another trip.
