Valley of Fire

     The Valley of Fire, Nevada's oldest and largest state park spans more than 40,000 acres of beautiful red sandstone formations created from shifting sand dunes during the dinosaur age.  These features -- the centerpiece of the park's attractions -- often appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun's rays.  It was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1968. 
     Complex uplifting and faulting of the region, followed by extensive erosion, have created the present landscape. The rough floor and jagged walls of the park contain brilliant formations of eroded sandstone and sand dunes more than 150 million years old.  The Valley of Fire was the Getaway Geezers' first photo outing together in 2008.
  The park is about 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas on Hwy 15; at the  community of Crystal, turn right  on Exit 75. 
     Enjoy the photos.  Captions are minimal!
