Red Rock Canyon AND Valley Of Fire!! AND Las Vegas Road Trip Too Jan

Valley Of Fire is stunning!

Red Rock is equally so.

And we get to camp and explore both.

Easy Camping!! Perfect for First-Timers
CLICK HERE to see from when we have gone before.

If you have not heard of either Valley Of Fire or Red Rock Conservation Area. . . that's because they are outside of California.

We have so much here that we often can overlook what is right next-door and still super close.

The other reason you may not of heard of them . . . Valley of Fire is a Nevada State Park and not a National Park. State Parks are assumed to not be as good as National Parks. And that's not true!!!

Red Rock is a National Conservation Area . . . again . . . assumed to not be as good since not designated as National Park . . . yet.

The reality is BOTH are stunning. And the designations make them more accessible.

Valley Of Fire has "The Fire Wave." Similar "The Wave" in UT.
It also has
Pastel Slot Canyon
The Dome-lands (another slot there too)
Rainbow Vista Trail
Fire Canyon Overlook
Petroglyph Canyon (yes!!! Petroglyphs!!)
Atlatl Rock
Arch Rock
Pinnacles Trail (for the adventurous).

And we are likely to see some or all of these:
Bighorn sheep
Jackrabbits
Coyotes
Kit Foxes
Lizards
Iguanas
Tortoises

About this event:
This event is tent camping (not RV or Van). You do need to provide your own gear and food. (more on that down below). We are staying outside of Red Rock on a private non-federal, non-blm site.

The general itinerary/ schedule is:
Fri-
Arrive when you can. Anytime AFTER 2PM. People will be arriving up to midnight. I will be away to greet you and show you where to go. Along with whoever else is at the campfire at that time.

Sat- Valley Of Fire - - This is the main fun.

• Drive Mouse’s Tank Road towards Fire Wave and take lots of photos along the way.
• Now to our main hike. We will get there early before the crowds. We will do a loop of four hikes together. Fire Wave, Pink Pastel Slot Cyn, Domes Slot, White Domes. They call it the 7 wonders loop. I do not know what the other three wonders are.
• After that we make it to Fire Cyn Vista (this is a view only)
• Then two short hikes of Rainbow Vista trail (this has natural arches)
• & Mouse's Tank trial. This has 2000 year old petroglyphs all along the canyon walls.
• A quick zip to Atlatl Rock (more petroglyphs).
• Pinnacles Trail is an option for those that want more dirt on their shoes.
• And lastly visit the Beehives and take tons more pix there.
• Elephant Rock is also an option to drive to.
• Get back to camp and we have a fab campfire all nite.
