Las Vegas – Valley of Fire

We left Kanab when it was 36 degrees and raining, mixed with wet snow, headed for sunny Las Vegas.  We are not Vegas kind of people but we found a cheap place to stay for a week and planned to log some significant pool time.  Unfortunately, Vegas was mostly cloudy and in the 60s-70s and very windy.  So, we ate at some good places on the strip and did some other typical Vegas stuff.

 

We also visited the Valley of Fire State Park which was about a 45 minute drive.  We hiked several trails and saw some pretty interesting rock formations.

 

 

They also had some arches – although nothing to compare to what we had seen before.

 

 

 The Valley of Fire did have the most interesting petroglyphs we have seen so far date.  This one seems to prove that the practice of ass kissing goes back to our earliest ancestors.

 

I don’t know what to make of this one, but I’m sure there’s a great story behind it.  It depicts a chili pepper, a foot, some blobs and an antelope heading for greener pastures.

 

Here are some of the others that were there.
