Valley of Fire


Big horn rams starting to run.

Big Horn Rams

Ron and Joan Malanosky invited us to join them at Valley of Fire State Park about an hour northeast of Las Vegas. Near the Lake Mohave Recreation Area, its scenic red rocks and wildlife draw visitors from all over.

Mouse's Tank is named for a renigade indian who hid out in these hills after causing trouble to early settlers and other tribes.

Spring is a perfect time to visit. Though we were a bit early for wild flowers, we did see a herd of nine big horn rams. What a delight!
