Camping in the Valley of 🔥 Slide Show
It’s supposed to rain/snow/blow today so I just want to look back and be grateful that we camped in some pretty cool places in the past.

Valley of Fire
#flashback to a better time when I was not looking out a window here in Livingston watching it snow.

I wonder if I could ride my bike down that? BLM land Mo and I biked a couple hours and came to this. -

Gooseberry Vistas
Oh boy, the winter blues are really tightening their icy grip on us, aren’t they? The snow’s stacking up like there’s no tomorrow, and the sun’s decided to take a sabbatical. So, what’s the game plan to dodge this frosty funk? How about we plunge into a cozy wave of nostalgia with a good old-fashioned slideshow flashback? Feels like a hug from the inside, right?

Another Valley of Fire Slideshow
Just can’t shake off my fascination with the Valley of Fire. It’s like the park is spellbound, despite being a bit rough around the edges, thanks to a touch of mismanagement and wear.

Hell of a Desert Slideshow

Petroglyphs Slideshow
Time for a flashback to warmer times and a stroll in the desert to view petroglyphs. On This Day In History
2016: Now, there’s a tale that’ll have you rollin’ on the floor laughin’! Overpackin’ for a measly 35-miler like it was an expedition to the North Pole. Meanwhile, my pal Mo was light as a feather, zoomin’ past me and snaggin’ herself a podium finish. I tell ya, I’ve never heard the end of that one!
2012: Ah, the good ol’ days of soul-searchin’ and goal-settin’. Who’d have thought this old dog would one day be chasin’ after fat bikes and multi-day stage races? But I s’pose that’s just how the cookie crumbles, ain’t it? Gotta keep chuggin’ along, like that little engine that could.
2011: Hot diggity dog, now that was a race to remember! Hairpin turns, heart rates through the roof, and a loose handlebar throwin’ a wrench into the whole shebang. Talk about a nail-biter! I swear, I aged about ten years in that single race.
2010: Would you just look at that meadow? Prettier than a picture, I tell ya. Reminds me of that one time I was out hikin’ with my buddy Jimmy, and we darn near stumbled right into a moose’s backyard. Let’s just say we high-tailed it outta there faster than a jackrabbit on a hot tin roof!
2009: Ah, the joys of battlin’ the dreaded sniffles. It’s like a war zone up in here, with tissues flyin’ every which way and chaos reignin’ supreme. But hey, at least that AI-generated image of impending doom gave me a good chuckle. Gotta find the humor where you can, right?
2008: Speakin’ of good chuckles, how about that Marcy? Cutest darn thing this side of the Mississippi, I tell ya. Nothin’ beats a lazy day off from trainin’, just kickin’ back and hittin’ the trails with your favorite four-legged pal. ‘Course, that Lolo Pass Ride was looming on the horizon, so it was back to the grindstone soon enough.
2006: Now, here’s a doozy for ya! A good ol’ fashioned snowpocalypse, barrelin’ down on us like a freight train. But hey, at least we got to soak up some of that glorious sunshine while it lasted, right? And with friends comin’ to visit, well, that’s just the cherry on top of the sundae!
2006 (again): Ah, yes, the age-old conundrum of privacy versus accessibility. Gotta love those brain-scratchin’ ideas that really get the ol’ noggin churnin’. Course, knowin’ me, I probably got about three sentences in before my mind started wanderin’ off to more pressin’ matters… like what I was gonna have for lunch that day.

Going to Valley of Fire
If you’re going to the Valley of Fire it is wise to plan ahead to capture one of the non reservable campsites. We’d like to stay at Lake Mead and then sneak in during the morning and grab a spot. This is a great place to explore. This video also includes a tutorial on how to get water if you’re a bighorn sheep. In the meantime check out our Desert Gallery.

PITA
In Yellowstone National Park, legend has it that while everyone comes for the geysers and grizzlies, they often leave with stories about a certain yellow cat. Meet PITA, short for “Pain In The Ass”, an affectionate nod to his endless curiosity and clever little tricks. While the wolves hunted in packs and bears kept their solitude, PITA roamed with that confident strut only a well-fed housecat could have, as if the park itself was his backyard.
