Valley of Fire!

Valley of Fire is a State Park only around 1 1/2 hours north of Las Vegas. It is only $10 a car and a easy drive and plenty of hikes for any fitness level. It was also where they filmed some of the Mars sequences in Total Recall. When we saw the fire red cliffs and power fine sand there we could completely see it. We also learned that Red Rock Canyon where we went on our first road trip was the site of where Kirk met his end in the Star Trek Generations film.( And yes we are movie geeks) We had planned a short morning trip during Willie's morning well check appointment. We turned towards Lake Mead when coming to a sign that said it was only 5 miles away. Lake Mead would put us closer to Tripp's house. We did indeed catch a glimpse of Lake Mead in 5 miles but the road then took us through over an hour scenic drive through the mountains and back to  I 15 AROUND 3PM, where we had started around 8am THAT MORNING. Nice drive though.
