We flew into Las Vegas late last night, stayed the night at a hotel near the airport, and woke up ready to see Valley of the Fire State Park in route to Kanab, Utah.
We entered the park on the west side and quickly made a stop at the Beehives which are red sandstone domes that look like just like beehives.
After wandering around at the Beehives, we stopped just down the street to see the petroglyphs at Atlatl Rock which are over 4000 years old. Then we went in search of Arch Rock.

We continued on the state park road making a stop at the visitor center before arriving at the trailhead for Mouse's Tank Trail. This was a short 1-mile round trip trail that took us past more petroglyphs in the sandstone that lined the trail.

Our last stop of the day was to hike to the Fire Wave and then on through Pastel Canyon. This was a great, relatively short hike (less than 3 miles) with a lot of "wow" factor.

By this time, it was late afternoon, so we left Valley of the Fire State Park and continued on our way to Kanab, Utah.
