You can hands get yonder from the strained neon lights of the Las Vegas strip and enjoy a day trip hiking in this trappy place. Valley of Fire PanoramaWithoutour Zion and Bryce trip, we crush to this park to see the Wave of Fire that has been photographed many times. During Spring break, the weather was pretty summery to hike during the day but you will need to some sunscreen as there would be no shade here. I’d not recommend to go here during the Summer considering it can be really hot to plane stand under the sun. The momentum from Las Vegas to here was a bit wearisome with mostly desert. However, when inward the park, one can see the scene changes significantly with the red beehive waddle insemination seeming withal the scenic road. Fire Wave The road to Fire Wave trail is winding but spectacular with the colorful waddle formation. The trail is a bit nonflexible to spot and the parking is pretty small to fit increasingly than 20 cars. Begin from Parking Lot #3, the final parking zone on White Does Road surpassing it ends by White Domes Trail. The first time we went there, we missed the trail throne as there were not a lot of people. When we came back, the sign and lots of cars in the parking lot provided the clue! The stripes on the way to the Fire Wave Walk wideness to the west side of White Does Road to the signed start Fire Wave Trail, which heads northeast lanugo a sandy slope. The trail aims toward a long steep ridge of red sandstone. The Fire Wave was not hands wieldy and you will need to hike well-nigh 20-30 minutes. Beware that you might hit a sand storm and might get lost so don’t go there without the sun is set. The Fire Wave Walking under the blazing sun (about 90F during Spring Break), we drank a lot of water and felt tired pretty quickly. The total round trip is well-nigh 1.5 miles  with 175 feet of elevation change. The good thing is that you will start to see the trappy pink and orange stripes without a few twists and turns. If you have never seen it in real life, you would think that somebody had painted the rocks here! The Fire Wave Note that the trail is not unmistakably marked and you can hands lose the markers. Follow markers and lines right slantingly the striped slickrock, 0.35 miles from the start. Once you find some subtle stripes, alimony walking as it is not the “wave” yet.Withoutsome hopeless walk, you might find it: a carved-out zone at the southwest end of the waddle insemination you are on! The famous wave is a small trencher shaped zone and you might find lots of people lingering here and enjoying the landscape. It took us a while to wait for some photographers and their models to go yonder 🙂 Other trails We hiked to Mouse’s Tank among the red sandstone waddle to see some wondrous waddle formation.We were hopeful to see some petroglyph but we were probably on the wrong place. Anyway, it was a good hike on sandy trail with some mini wily rocks and caves. A Cave at Valley of Fire At the end of the day, we walked up the hill wideness the Fire Wave Trail and watched the sunset. From up there, one can see the unshortened breadth-taking scenery of Valley of Fire State Park. The sunset was not that impressive when we were there but still pretty enjoyable on the top of the big boulder!
