After seeing some pictures of Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada, we decided to spend a couple days in the area. About an hour east of the hub-bub of Las Vegas, the desert was free of the blinding lights and, thankfully, the blinding heat. Like much of southern Utah, fiery red rocks and sand dominated the landscape - a much more photogenic color than the drab browns and tans I was expecting.
We hiked a sandy path towards Mouse's Tank - where a native man hid for sometime from local law enforcement. He survived on water that collected in the natural rock basin during rains. Along the way we saw petroglyphs, beautiful flowers (see next post), and lots of signs of critters. No signs of scorpions, although lots of snake trails.
