Snow to Fire

On a cool and very windy day in Cedar City Dave and Jan decided it might be nice to take a drive to the south into southeast Nevada for a visit to The Valley of Fire State Park. It turned out to be a very good decision!

The state park included a number of rock formations of amazing beauty and variety.

A hike of around a mile at Rainbow Vista included an amazing array of colors – as the name implies.

Though you may not be able to tell from the photo, another few steps would have dropped the hiker a hundred feet or so into the canyon ahead at the trail’s end!

The next hike of around a mile and a half loop is called White Domes because of the large domes of white rock in the area – but the white was definitely surrounded by a great deal of color as well.

Jan was especially fond of this slot canyon.

The day’s final hike of around a mile round trip was the trail known as Fire Wave

After scanning the peaks in the park all day in search of some Long Horn Sheep, Dave and Jan were pleased to find some of them grazing peacefully near one of the park’s campgrounds!

Dave and Jan never fail to see the creative genius of the Lord as they continue exploring the beauty and variety which surrounds them in Southwest Utah.
