Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada

November19, 2015 - Tucson, Arizona -

After Zion NP in Utah we traveled south and west into Nevada (wow what a desolate landscape, after the relatively rich scenery around Zion NP!).  We were headed for Valley of Fire State Park, south of Overton, NV and were totally surprised by the immediate change of scenery we were greeted with upon entering the park boundaries.  Amazing sculpted sandstone rock and hill structures.  Another amazing site!  Went immediately to the Atalatl campground (which has electrical and water hook-ups for RVs) as this is a First Come, First Served campground.  While leveling "Chang", we were directed by fellow campers to see a full curl Desert Bighorn Sheep coming down a narrow canyon and into the campsite directly across from us!








Our campsite was just delightful, and there were 2 other R-Pods in the campground!








There were many cool hiking trails and rock structures including:





Elephant Rock!





Seven Sisters.





Petrified logs.






Tons of Petroglyphs.





Cool landscapes.






And great caves.
