Trip to the Valley of Fire

At the end of May we packed up and took a day trip to hike at the Valley of Fire. It turned out to be an interesting and fun day...

Elephant Rock

Mama and Petey below Elephant Rock

Mama and "Girl Petey"

Fiona, Petey and Dada in front of some cabins built by the CCC. As we were here two lady's and a photographer showed up to take a shoot of an "adult" nature. We had to take off to the next hike!

Here we are taking a break.

Fiona and Mama. Look at all the color in the background.

We hiked down this mountain.

Breaktime at the bottom.

This is at the bottom of the mountain. This is the remains of the movie set for "The Professionals" starring Burt Lancaster and Lee Marvin.

This slot canyon is just past the movie set.

We saw this lizard along the side of the path.

On the next hike there was a rattlesnake under this rock. Right next to the path!!! I tried to zoom in to get a good picture. This was as close as I could get.

More hiking!

A nice place to sit.
