Have you ever taken a trip to Las Vegas? I bet you most likely have (but you should go if you haven't). However, I bet you didn't know that once-in-a-lifetime nature views were close by.
Consider visiting the little-known Valley of Fire State Park that offers beautiful scenery only an hour away from the Las Vegas strip.
"World-renowned for its 40,000 acres of bright red Aztec sandstone outcrops nestled in gray and tan limestone, Valley of Fire State Park contains ancient, petrified trees and petroglyphs dating back more than 2,000 years. A Visitor Center provides exhibits on the geology, ecology, prehistory and history of the park and nearby region. The park also hosts an Annual Atlatl Competition in which participants test their skills with replicas of ancient spears. Open year round, the park has numerous campsites equipped with shaded tables, grills and water, as well as many intriguing trails to tempt hikers."

Here are the pictures that I captured on this trip:
Those are some beautiful scenery photos you took there. I am a big fan of the panorama 2nd to last shot the most.
What camera body/lens did you use?
I happen to also live near Las Vegas and haven't been to Valley of Fire. Do you have a specific trail you take or is this the same for anyone that goes?

Thanks @falconspy! Yeah, I really like that panorama the most too.
Actually, I used a cell phone for taking these pictures! Can you imagine how great these would've been had I used my DSLR? I'll have to go back and take some more pictures with it.
As for the trails, I went on the petroglyph and petrified wood trails. Look out for those when you go.
