April 5, 2014, Fire Wave, Valley of Fire, Nevada

We hiked to the Fire Wave last spring, but it was raining, we went back to see it in the sunlight.

We had lunch a the top of the bowl of the Fire wave, it was almost like watching TV watching the others people taking photos of themselves on it.  In the middle photo I told this big group to go down and ride the wave, so here they are. There is even a guy laying and paddling.

John on his way out, being one with the wave. Across the street we picked a canyon and hiked up. Cool rocks, similar formation, but different shapes.
