Side trip to Valley of Fire
On one of my days off a couple weeks ago, I took a day trip out to Valley of Fire State Park. The geology is quite striking, with rifts of red-orange, rosy pink, and creamy silica domes. It's easy to see why the park regularly features in film, including Star Trek: Generations, the Stand mini-series, and the corny 80s sword-and-sandals flick Beast Master. Walking along it feels like the surface of Mars. The Mouse Tank trail was particularly interesting, joining wonderful stone, plant life, and petroglyphs.
