Favorites from the Valley of Fire State Park, December 2010

While we were in Las Vegas, we spent one day up at Valley of Fire State Park. It is about an hour northeast of town and well worth the trip. It has lovely rock formations. At several locations there are well-preserved petroglyphs.  There are a variety of trails with spectacular views.  You can't go wrong.

The slideshow above is based on a gallery of a selection of my favorites from the day.  These favorites are drawn from several galleries devoted to specific locations in the park.  I included these more specialized galleries along with the selection of favorites in case anyone was planning a trip, and wanted a more detailed look at these locations to help with their selection of destinations: the Beehives, Atlatl and Arch Rock Loop, Rainbow Vista, and White Domes.
