| partners | | After leaving Utah and the magnificent drive along Hwy 15 through the Virgin Gorge (can't believe they were able to put a Hwy through here) we stopped in the Valley of Fire State Park. We had been here before but had not hiked the Mouse Tank Trail. This is a short 1 mile hike through a canyon that dead ends with a tank and a drop-off to the lower canyon. Interesting but an easy walk, lots of petroglyphs along the way.
Our next stop was at the end of the park road to the White Dome Loop trail. We had done this hike before but at that time added the Fire wave loop portion to it to make the hike a little more respectable. This time we only had time for the White Dome Loop. Very scenic and worth doing again.
We did see the usual park pets, Big Horn Sheep that were showing off along the road. I think these big horn did something wrong and were sentenced to showing off for the tourist, kind of like the elk and deer at Grand Canyon. You screw up and you get stuck with showing off for the tourist, wonder how long their sentence is. |
