Valley of Fire

A short drive from Las Vegas, this valley of geologic intrigue provides a pallet of red upon which sandstone formations are weathered into awesome structures. During the winter the weather is absolutely perfect, but I would not want to be here during the summer, as the stone walls would surely act like a brick oven. We passed by Lake Mead and the bathtub like rings around the periphery gave a reminder of the decade long drought the southwest is experiencing. This place is surely a hidden gem, yet to be destroyed by the raspy gamblers.
