There were lots of petroglyph's in the park.
I climbed to the top to get some photos of them. Enlarge the photo and you can see them.
See how steep a climb it was. How do you suppose they wrote on the walls that high up.
Cabins built by CCC in 1935 for campers to use. They were constructed of native sandstone and were used for many years. About 9000 people visited the
Valley of Fire State Park in 1936. As of today there are about 200,000 per yr.
This rock looks like a genie lamp.
Notice the color to the rocks. Click and make the photo larger.
This cave shows the start of wear on the back wall, see the small hole starting to form.
Looks like a Desert Tortoise doesn't it.
These Beehives were created by the relentless harsh winds, rain, heat and cold creating the many unusual formations in the Valley of Fire.
The rocks are hollowed out due to the weather creating Peek a boo holes as Bil is demonstrating.
Unable to withstand blasting of strong winds & slowly dissolving by rains the rock is weakened allowing an arch to form. Eventually it will be too large for its support & natures forces will cause it to crumble. You can already see a crack in the arch on the right side.
