Valley of Fire (Nevada)
Generally overlooked in favor of Las Vegas or Lake Tahoe, the Valley of Fire is one of the most unbelievable views you’ll find in the country.
Not something you can just pass by, the 40,000 bright red acres of Aztec sandstone nestled in between tan and grey sandstone are something you can explore for days.
As the oldest park you can find in Nevada there are lots of things you can do if you choose to vacation in the area, with several well-equipped campsites, numerous trails, and a very useful visitor center that can explain the history of the valley to you and help you if you don’t yet have a plan.
You can even see 2 millennia-old petrified trees and petroglyphs! Keep your options open, as there’s plenty more to visit in Nevada and they don’t really have to include casinos.

y husband went to School in Vineland, New Jersey, not far from here and brought down to spend the day at Cape May and bought me a beautiful present while there visiting the Angels of the Sea which is a B&B!! Then we went and had a nice hot bowl of Clam Chowder as it was getting chilly and stating to rain! Went to a cute Candy Store and bought some Salt Water Taffy! I would love to go back when weather is good too! Took pics of Light Houses too!
