While in Vegas we drove about an hour north and went to Valley of Fire State Park. Wow, we didn't really know what to expect. We were blown away. This State Park rivals some of the wonderful National Parks that we've been to. We would describe it as a Sedona, Arizona without all the traffic and commercialization. And, they have petroglyphs. Hundreds of them.
It was special to stand very near these petroglyphs and figure out what these people where trying to tell us.
Hmm, when asked, Alex says "women could learn a lot from these petroglyphs, keep it short and to the point". Oh my, ladies have at him. I'm sorry I asked for his opinion.
Let the pictures do the talking. The last few pictures show the reason why the Indians settled here. The trail lead to a natural tank (water). It was hidden and protected by the rocks. We took 244 pictures and below we picked out the best 30. As usual, click the link, select slide show and hit F-11 to enlarge your screen.
