After leaving Fillmore UT we settled in for two days at Valley of Fire State Park, NE of Las Vegas NV - it was calm and very warm, 75F/24C! We enjoyed a bike ride, some walking and the red rock scenery - a little R&R after the getaway and the driving...
Last night we were in Wickenburg at a horse camp (folks bring their "rides" - horses and ATVs for the winter!).
Dramatic, Desolate, Desert Scenes
After leaving Valley of Fire we drove through about 280 mi/450 km of varying types of desert scenery with very little population, a couple of towns and lots of eye candy of the natural kind until we reached the metropolis of the Phoenix area. Nearing the big city we noted that the desert was very green and our neighbours report that October was unusually wet!
A bear or dog?
A Cardinal?
A sphinx?
What is this mountain sheep surviving on here?!
