Valley of Fire was a visiting place for Native Americans for thousands of years. They came for game, but left thousands of pictographs in the rock. There is an easy to reach place very close to the campground, although it involves a little stair climbing.
Note: There is a very, very steep fine for modern rock "artists" here! (Like in the thousands.)
After this climb, I headed to the White Dome area. First, past the
visitor center, and then up a steep, but very scenic roadway.
There are some very nice canyons in the area, but it would take quite a lot of climbing to get down there.
I am not sure why, but the rams spend all of their time in the valley, while the ewes, which these are, spend their time in small herds in the hills and on the rocks. You can tell ewes because they have smaller and more narrow horns.
I did not have a lot of daylight left for walking, but I did stop here and plan to go back another time.
Back down the hill to the valley and my campground.
