In addition to Valley of Fire AND Red Rock Cyn Dec 21 and 22 is the peak for the Ursids Meteor Shower

If you have not heard of either . . . that's because they are outside of California. We have so much here that we often can overlook what is right next-door and still super close.

The other reason you may not of heard of them . . . Valley of Fire is a Nevada State Park and not a National Park. State Parks are assumed to not be as good as National Parks.
Red Rock is a National Conservation Area . . . again . . . assumed to not be as good since not designated as National Park.

The reality is BOTH are stunning. And the designations make them more accessible.

Valley Of Fire has "The Fire Wave." Similar "The Wave" in UT.

This event is tent camping (not RV or Van). You do need to provide your own gear and food. (more on that down below). We are staying outside of Red Rock on a private non-federal, non-blm site.

The general itinerary/ schedule is:
Fri-
Arrive when you can. Anytime AFTER 2PM. People will be arriving up to midnight. I will be away to greet you and show you where to go. Along with whoever else is at the campfire at that time.

Sat- Valley Of Fire - - This is the main fun.

• Drive Mouse’s Tank Road towards Fire Wave and take lots of photos along the way.
• Now to our "main hike." We will get there early before the crowds. We will do a loop of four hikes together. Fire Wave, Pink Pastel Slot Cyn, Domes Slot, White Domes. They call it the 7 wonders loop. I do not know what the other three wonders are.
• After that we make it to Fire Cyn Vista (this is a view only)
• Then two short hikes of Rainbow Vista trail (this has natural arches)
• & Mouse's Tank trial. This has 2000 year old petroglyphs all along the cyn walls.
• A quick zip to Atlatl Rock (more petroglyphs)
• And lastly visit the Beehives and take tons more pix there.
• Elephant Rock is also an option to drive to.

• We will break to groups accordingly by who wants to do what.
• Get back to camp and we have a fab campfire all nite.

Monday: Head home.

• For those only staying Sat & Sun eve. Simply pack up Sun AM and do Red Rock with us and then continue home.

Time of year:
BOTH Valley of Fire and Red Rock Nat Rec Area are MISERABLE in summer.
Daytime high will get up to 70 degrees. Perfect for hikes. Nighttime low will get to around 45 degrees. Just bring some extra blankets and you will fine.

Another benefit of the time of year is Christmas is the 24th/25th. Many folks can take Monday 23rd off super easy to make it a 3 day weekend.
