A summer flameout medley of Arch and Atlatl Rocks, the Petrified Logs Loop, Crazy Hill, White Domes, finishing off on the east side with Balancing and Elephant Rocks. We're not going to miss the extreme record breaking heat, but at least it conditioned us for this fun little side trip. 8) Blew through the Zion circus, which won't ever quite measure up to the Grand. :lol: Dang you, wreck.gov randomized distribution!

Into the tourist trap part of the park. Managed to find a parking spot and decided to start with the seven wonders loop, with an option to walk over to White Domes if I felt like it. Never knew this place was on the radar as an international attraction, but a vast majority of the conversation I overheard was in various foreign languages (more French than I would've expected). The loop itself was cool, although I'm not sure I followed the official route up past Thunderstorm Arch.

The White Domes slot canyon was cool, though short. I also came to the conclusion that international tourists hold very little regard for pedestrians while behind the wheel.

Finally made it out to Valley of Fire, and really enjoyed the scrambling around White Domes. The colors and formations are incredible. Sadly, the skies were overcast and didn't offer good lighting for photos. Saw a few bighorn towards the end of the hike.

First hike of the day. My friend was freaked out by the snake trails in the sand. The slot canyon portion was nice and cool, but the rest was pretty warm for so early in the morning.

After visiting with my sister in Vegas, my wife and I drove to Valley of Fire State Park, which is about an hour and a half from the strip, on the northern side of Lake Mead. We did an out and back hike on the White Domes Loop Trail. Fun, easy trail but it was scorching hot in the late afternoon. Saw a few longhorn sheep on the drive in. For a small park, this place has a very impressive visitor's center. I wish GCNP's VC had even half as much info and displays as this place.

We hiked through a section that was used as a filming location for the 1966 western The Professionals. If you watch the movie, it's the part where they kill 10 Indians and a horse and bury their bodies.

First trip to this park that had long wanted to visit. This little hike is a beauty with very fine sand on parts of the trail and canyon walls that close in. Sandstone formations are soft to the touch! Seemed longer than 1.3 mile.
