| no partners | | Hiked White Dome Loop with Victoria and Eanáir as part of our Valley of Fire trip.
This was probably the best of the Valley of Fire trails we did, in my opinion.
The trail started with a solid incline that was the loose sand typical of the park. Quite the intimidating start! but at least that part was in the shade. After that there was a rocky descent that was almost a scramble, it was a good thing the grandparents had gotten tired and opted out of this one, they would not have been happy on it.
Shortly afterwards there was a set of ruins that apparently were the set of a movie in the 30's, not to much left of it at this point but there was a plaque with a description of it.
Then the trail went through a slot canyon. This spot was particularly scenic, it was a bit like red canyon slot though not as long. It was a great spot for photos and probably the easiest to access slot canyon I have come across.
Continuing the loop there were several scenic vistas and small natural arch.
There was a lot of things to see in a really short loop trail that was not particularly difficult (even with Eanáir on my back and the hot weather). I would definitely do this one again if I were in the area. |
