White Domes Area Trails in Valley of Fire State Park

As we were leaving we drove through the rest of Valley of Fire State Park. We stopped to hike White Domes trail, walk through the Visitor Center and the three CCC cabins. White Domes is known for its picturesque geologic formations and many Hollywood movies were filmed here, some of the remains from the sets were left behind. While at the Visitor Center we learned that Valley of Fire is Nevada’s first state park, the center has very nice exhibits about the park and its history. The CCC cabins were built in 1930’s out of native sandstones to shelter travelers. We had a wonderful time at Valley of Fire State Park.

Not much room to walk through

We continued on for 120 mile to Utah, we drove through a pretty mountain range, and part of Arizona. We arrived at Sand Hollow State Park about lunchtime so we had all afternoon to enjoy the park. The park has a small reservoir but the camping area was too far away for Flo to walk. It was warm but Flo was tired of being in the Minnie so she and I sat outside for a little over an hour under the covered ramada. The neighbors were leaving and didn’t want to take their firewood with them so they told me I was more than welcome to have it, I took what we wanted and then Flo and I joined Larry in the comfort of the air conditioner in the Minnie.
