Description
Tall sandstone formations rise from the desert floor in Nevada's Valley Of Fire. You can hike among the sandstone cliffs and bluffs for hours and not see another person in this vast and wild place that offers breathtaking views of natural sculptures as tall as buildings.
The Valley of Fire is a very dry, sparsely vegetated desert area in Southern Nevada with spectacular red sandstone crags and rock piles that have eroded in a variety of interesting and unusual forms. Many rock faces are covered with desert varnish, a naturally occurring dark patina that forms on the surface of rocks in the desert. Native peoples who lived in the area created petroglyphs by pecking away the desert varnish to reveal the underlying light-colored rock. The scenery here is surreal and I had the feeling that I may have been hiking on another planet!
