Nevada, Las Vegas and more

Nevada is not only Las Vegas, however, is worth a little visit to dive right in this Disneyland for adults, Nevada is also a lot of nature, beautiful national parks, deserts, mountains and breathtaking views. Do you want some names? Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, Lake Tahoe, Spring Mountains Ranch, Echo Canyon. There are enough? They are not all, there’s many more (there is also the Death Valley of course) in this magnificent state. But if I should to suggest one, I would certainly say the Valley Of Fire. This national park is something beautiful and the visit deserves the trip alone or also if you are in California. This park located approximately 50 miles from Las Vegas is the oldest in the state of Nevada and its name comes from the color of its rock formations that remind of the color of a flame and depending on the time of day and the intensity of the sun, change in wonderful colours. Comfortable, and easy to be traveled by car or motorcycle, it has countless points of interest, starting from the road that climbs up and down its beautiful hills changing into a wonderful technicolor, even better than Monument Valley and the Joshua Tree. Admire the Elephanrt Rock, the Fire Canyon Arch and Windstone Arch and its petroglyphs (you read that right petroglyphs no hieroglyphics), rock carvings made by ancient peoples who inhabited this area. The park has an age of 150 million years, it existed before the time , so should be respected. Walk into it on foot, tap its rocks, lie down its sandy dunes, embrace it and live it, it will recharge you with magical energy, believe me. I could go on for hours to describe its magnificence and dazzling beauty, but I would never give you the idea, then, the next time that you are nearby, take some time, the so-called quality time and go enjoy this wonder who has given us the mother nature.
