We had an invitation to join my cousin and his wife at their new winter retreat in Arizona for New Years. We turned the trip into an adventure with several stops along the way. Our first stop was Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada -

She had returned with the best photo from our entire trip.

This is why I often don't even bring a camera anymore. Mrs. Ted's photos were so much better than mine I just accepted reality and enjoy her photos.

Nice colors in the sandstone.

Fantastic sheep/geology/scenery.
A very different landscape then DV.
Thanks Ski.

Great reports so far, thanks. Funny, I thought at first you captured a four horned sheep, but then I went back and found the second set of shoulders!

 

[Foy]

Excellent photos of fine examples of cross-bedding in a number of those sandstone outcrops. Another wonderful geology tour to tag along on!

I’m loving the Kofa segment! The rock art, mortars at the shelters, tinajas... I need to visit! Thank you for the chance to check it out vicariously!

Thanks Frank! I was a great time returning to Valley of Fire!

Great reports so far, thanks. Funny, I thought at first you captured a four horned sheep, but then I went back and found the second set of shoulders!

Thanks Occidental! I too, had to take another look to sort out all the horns.
