We left Red Rock and drove to Valley of Fire. It is so much less crowded and  quieter here.  It was in the high 80’s, but then clouded over and the wind came up and cooled it off.

Indigo bush, lots of weird rock formations here, evening primrose, California buckwheat bush. Lots of petroglyphs here.
