Valley of Fire State Park
What better way to spend a couple days before Christmas than leaving the chaos behind and camping in beautiful weather? We spent two nights not too far from home, camping (at the same campsite Scott and I camped six years ago) at Valley of Fire State Park.

We enjoyed highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s in late December! The red rocks near our campsite were perfect for exploring and this camping trip completely exceeded my expectations. We were able to hike the White Dome Trail, which we had not done and revisit the Firewave area. We also took turns riding for miles on our new electric bikes (that Scott got us for Christmas) and checked some other areas in the park.
The kids got to see the Milky Way at night and although we didn’t have s’mores, we enjoyed a nightly campfire each night. The campsite was only half full and although the park was still busy an we were only an hour from home, we felt like we were able to ‘get away.’ And of course, it wouldn’t have been a trip to Valley of Fire with out multiple bighorn sheep sightings!
