Going to Vegas for Christmas, Is the Valley of Fire worth a day trip?

Hey Bob, if you love doing landscape photography, I highly recommend Valley of Fire State Park. I've only been there once and spent a half day there but to me the photo opps seem endless. I use Flickr a lot when planning photo trips, so do a search for "Fire Cave" or "Wind Cave" and the increasingly popular "Fire Wave." Here's a couple from my day trip from Vegas...

Great shots James. Shots like this is what motivated me to consider Valley of Fire--Thanks for the titles and tips to search Flicker. The area titles also help in planning, I can now find these areas on a map and plan for arrival during good lighting.


Thanks, Bob
