Valley of Fire, America - 26th July 2012
Hello Mum and Mandrara. Our trip is close to its end. Today we were visiting the Valley of Fire. It is a desert again, but with very interesting rocks. This rock is called the Elephant rock. Can you discover the Elephant? Here we are at “the Cabins”. These historic stone cabins were built with native sandstone by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930’s as a shelter for passing travelers. Here I am standing in front of the Mouse Tank. Named for a renegade who used the area as a hideout in the 1890’s. Mouse’s Tank is a natural basin in the rock where water collects after rainfalls, sometimes remaining for months. On the half-mile round-trip trail to Mouse’s Tank, we passed numerous examples of prehistoric petroglyphs like this. Here we are standing at the Rainbow Vista visiting point. This multicolored sandstones look like the German flag, don’t you think so mum? I really like the White Domes because they were very impressive. Because it was so hot, we decided to move on to Las Vegas our last stop before we will return to Germany. I think this highway looks like the ones, which you could see in American road movies. Viva Las Vegas!!! Our hotel is the Stratosphere tower. It looks so amazing huge from down here. Here you can see the view from the View platform on top of the Tower. Behind us you could see the Strip.
