A great escape!

For all who have ever visited Las Vegas, it is easy to look to the outskirts of town and think to yourself, Man, there is nothing out there! For the most part....YOUR RIGHT! But there are however a number of places that can be easily reached within a short drive from the city. Places that are well worth the visit. The Valley of Fire is one such place. If you are ever in Vegas and you have the time or just need a reprieve from the seemingly endless noise of slot machines and clubs, find your way here. The geography of the park is a site to see it has strange rock formations of magnificent colors. Arches, beehive formations and petroglyphs are all hidden within the park. There are many trails to explore, so if you like to hike, your gonna love this place. There are plenty of access roads for those who are less interested in the cardio version of travel. Bring lots of water, and lots of sunscreen, and make sure to not forget the camera!
