The Fire Wave in Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada


Another look at the feature called The Fire Wave in the Valley of Fire State Park, in Nevada.  You can reach it by a short hike from a well-marked trailhead. The rangers referred to it as their version of "The Wave." The hike was only about a mile and it was during spring break, so there were lots of hikers on the trail.  We had to wait our turn to get pictures of the "wave" without any other people in the picture. The outcrops in Valley of Fire consist of a mix of bright red Aztec sandstone and gray and tan limestone.

The Valley of Fire State Park is significant for all the Star Trek fans out there. This was the location where "Star Trek Generations" was filmed. This is the movie where Captain Kirk and Captain Picard meet and have to work together to defeat an evil scientist. At the end, Kirk dies and Picard ends up burying him.


Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
