Janine on Sherbet Hill, Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.
Well, I made the name Sherbet Hill up. I’m not sure if this amazing place has a name - as I have never seen a photo of this place, but I thought the name was fitting!
We meet up with some good friends from Seward recently, and I couldn’t wait to show them Valley of Fire, so we returned to the Park on Saturday. I hit a couple of familiar spots, and tried unsuccessfully to find the Desert Bighorn. We then decided to go for a nice hike. I pretty much picked a random spot, and went a random direction in a trail-less area to see what we could find. Well what was found is pictured above – I think it has to be one of the most unique and beautiful little places I have ever seen! It looked like someone had poured drums of paint down the side of this hill – words really don’t do it justice.
I have photos with and without Janine – I posted one with her in it for scale – in fact, I have all kinds of variations as there are pretty much an infinite number of possibilities here. It was fairly overcast – ideal conditions for this colorful landscape. I wish I had more time – I could spend weeks hiking this park, who knows what else it out there.

Beautiful area and photo Ron
Great, Ron. Now VoFSP will be overrun with photographers like Coyote Buttes and White Pocket
Awesome photo.
Thanks Dennis!
I hear you Michael – there certainly is a big part of me that hates to bring attention to such a beautiful place, so close to a town the size of Vegas. Being able to easily avoid any sign of people just adds to the beauty.
Thanks for the comment!
Hey Ron,
Really nice – the scale makes it work, and the tones and textures really rock. I’m sure this one will do you well. Great photo.
Cheers
Carl
