Into the Valley of Fire

We wandered into the Valley of Fire for a short day hike with Yoshi. Along the way, we encountered several mini arches and marveled at the bright, red hues under the sunlight.

Here we are for sense of scale under this mini series of arches:

We encountered small patches of water where the path was still covered. For the most part, we ended up hiking over and around these areas, but here’s one close up mirror reflection.

We took a few short breaks along the way, mostly to give Yoshi some water and treats. I still continue to be pleasantly surprised and hopeful that he’ll enjoy more hiking adventures with us. At the end of every hike, he still has a little bounce in his step. And without fail, he still tries to sniff everything.
