Short road trip today. We took the road through the Lake Mead Recreation Area to get to our eventual destination of Valley of Fire State Park. I should have bought the National Park Pass earlier this year as then we could have taken the drive for free. Instead we had to pay $25.00 for a 7 day pass. No one day passes for some reason.
We were on the road by 7:30 and the temperature was already 65F. The forecast was for highs in the 90's so an early start allowed us to get part of the sight seeing done before the heat of the day hit.
Not a lot of shots of Lake Mead but plenty of other beautiful scenery. We were going to head down to the lake on our way home but we were both plum tuckered out.
The line of white rock around the lake is where the water used to be about 10 years ago before the drought started. Water is a serious issue down here.
Stay turned for the pictures from Valley of Fire State Park.
