Red Rock Canyon & Valley Of Fire!! The Halloween Replacement Event
Fri, Oct 30, 9:00 PMValley Of Fire is stunning! Red Rock is equally so. **And we get to camp and then explore both.** ***Easy Camping!! Perfect for First-Timers*** [CLICK HERE](https://photos.app.goo.gl/56TXCjGkuWDfRYYf9) to see from when we have gone before. If you have not heard of either Valley Of Fire or Red Rock Conservation Area. . . that's because they are outside of California. We have so much here that we often can overlook what is right next-door and still super close. The other reason you may not of heard of them . . . Valley of Fire is a Nevada State Park and not a National Park. State Parks are assumed to not be as good as National Parks. And that's not true!!! Red Rock is a National Conservation Area . . . again . . . assumed to not be as good since not designated as National Park . . . yet. The reality is BOTH are stunning. And the designations make them more accessible. * Valley Of Fire has "The Fire Wave." Similar "The Wave" in UT. It also has * Pastel Slot Canyon * The Dome-lands (another slot there too) * Rainbow Vista Trail * Fire Canyon Overlook * Petroglyph Canyon (yes!!! Petroglyphs!!) * Atlatl Rock * Arch Rock * Pinnacles Trail (for the adventurous). And we are likely to see some or all of these: * Bighorn sheep * Jackrabbits * Coyotes * Kit Foxes * Lizards * Iguanas * Tortoises ***About this event:*** This event is tent camping (not RV or Van). You do need to provide your own gear and food. (more on that down below). We are staying outside of Red Rock on a private non-federal, non-blm site. The general itinerary/ schedule is: Fri- Arrive when you can. Anytime AFTER 2PM. People will be arriving up to midnight. I will be away to greet you and show you where to go. Along with whoever else is at the campfire at that time. Sat- Valley Of Fire - - This is the main fun. * Drive Mouse’s Tank Road towards Fire Wave and take lots of photos along the way. * Now to our main hike. We will get there early before the crowds. We will do a loop of four hikes together. Fire Wave, Pink Pastel Slot Cyn, Domes Slot, White Domes. They call it the 7 wonders loop. I do not know what the other three wonders are. * After that we make it to Fire Cyn Vista (this is a view only) * Then two short hikes of Rainbow Vista trail (this has natural arches) * & Mouse's Tank trial. This has 2000 year old petroglyphs all along the canyon walls. * A quick zip to Atlatl Rock (more petroglyphs). * Pinnacles Trail is an option for those that want more dirt on their shoes. * And lastly visit the Beehives and take tons more pix there. * Elephant Rock is also an option to drive to. * Get back to camp and we have a fab campfire all nite. Sunday Schedule will be Red Rock Cyn. * Easy vista points and viewpoint stops. * Medium (two or three smaller hikes) * Hard hike (for the hardcore among us. * We will break to groups accordingly by who wants to do what. * Get back to camp and we have a fab campfire all nite. Monday: Head home. * For those only staying Sat & Sun eve. Simply pack up Sun AM and do Red Rock with us and then continue home. **Time of year:** BOTH Valley of Fire and Red Rock Nat Rec Area are MISERABLE in summer. For this time of year . . . Daytime high will get up to 70 degrees. Perfect for hikes. Nighttime low will get to around 45 degrees. Just bring some extra blankets and you will fine. Another benefit of the time of year . . it's Halloween!!! RSVP does not guarantee your spot. Payment is the only way to secure you place. **[Click Here for Payment Link](https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/RXQZCKMFT6T9S) https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/RXQZCKMFT6T9S** **Question: When do I have to pay by?** * The event is limited in size. * Our events always fill up. And with lower limit . . . it will fill faster. * When it fills the payment link is removed. If you did not pay you are not attending. * The short answer is pay now to 100% secure your spot. * Refunds issued up to 2 weeks before event start date. So you have till the start of Jan to cancel. * If cancel less than two weeks notice and receive 100% credit towards a future event. **Question: What if I stay two nights. Is it less?** No. But since we have for Sun night you can stay as late as you want on Sunday before packing up. It gives us flexibility. Why not stay till Mon? **Questions . . .** *Dogs?* This is a very dog friendly trip. Dogs OK on the trails and in camp and on the trails. Dogs must be on leash at all times. *Kids?* Kids are OK in camp and on the trails. Under 10 is no charge. 11 to 18 is 1/2 price. Leash is optional. *Carpool?* We help facilitate carpools for attendees. [Carpool info](https://www.meetup.com/MoreToExplore/events/282458970/)
