Day Twelve - Valley of Fire and onto Utah

We started the day visiting the Valley of Fire and doing the "White Domes" trek with a good slot canyon - almost identical to those in Arizona! This time without the rattlesnake thank goodness. We then went on to do a trek called "Fire Wave" so named because of the interesting rock patterns at the end of it (see photos below.) It was then decided that for the last couple of days it would be nice to visit the parts of Zion National Park in Utah that we didn't manage to do on the last trip. As a result we drove up through Arizona and some strong winds and encountered our first rain on the trip. We arrived in the town Hurricane, Utah this afternoon just outside the park. The plan for tomorrow will be to go into Zion National Park and do some hikes there. We'll likely stay just outside the park somewhere maybe in Springdale or Rockville but that could change seeing how things go.
