Valley of Fire State Park








Hiking Valley of Fire State Park near Overton, Nevada was the inspiration of this trip. As one can imagine, Valley of Fire derives it's name from  red sandstone formations formed from great shifting sand dunes 150 million years ago.




Striking color variations.

This 1965 movie set ruin was constructed for "The Professionals". Over 45 commercial photo shoots are made every year. Other popular movies filmed here include "Electric Horseman" and
"Star Trek Generations".
