    Hi Kevin. This is a fav spot. Camping in non hookups is $20 but in rv sites w electric is additional $10. If u buy Nevada state all access pass @ $200 free camp & entrance fee. The $10 electric still applies. Have camped there numerous times. Last time about 3 weeks ago. Key is getting there early. Another cg just up the road is arch, fantastic but no hookups. Have had desert bighorns right outside my campsite. There is free camping not too far towards Overton. Not poverty flats but before the big curve in the road. Nevada is awesome & I have already paid off that pass. Let me know if u want secret places in Nevada

    Us older people and our stories.... there was a time we would drive to the Valley of Fire in our jeep just to have a camp fire and look at the stars. We were the only ones there. No camp sites, no stairs to the lithographs. Just us. Things have sure changed. Around September-October the tarantulas migrate, and they would be there by the hundreds of thousands. It was a sight to see! I would never let my husband stop the jeep. lol! Thanks for the memory. Hugs....

    an interesting trip is too go on the north side of Grand Canyon, thru Mount Zion National park, and that comes out thru the valley of fire, if I remember correctly. I traveled it about 46 years ago. Very interesting trip.

    I lived in Overton in 1963 and we would go to the Valley of

      Or it could be mixing olive oil and butter, may be?
      Despite the benefits of olive oil that's been touted for decades, I've never been a fan. I, however, eats *lots* of butter, *REAL* butter, my entire life, even during the "margarine is better" era.

    I love The Valley Of Fire! I want to go back and see more. I only got to drive through I didn't get to look at all of the cool stuff. My Mom lived in Pahrump for a few years so I got to see some places around there. There's so many neat things to do and see who has time for Vagas?
    I get a tummy ache from that kind of food too. I just don't eat it anymore. It sure tastes good though. I am a really big meat eater now. I feel much better now that I don't eat tons of veggies.
    Nice video. I guess your friend is really shy. Tell him/her thanks for hanging out with us and driving. It made for a vary nice video. :-)

    Beautiful vid, Kevin. I love it. If you are ever in the neighborhood, there is a truly amazing trip from Spanish Fork, Utah, southeast through the mountains that truly boggled my mind. I don't recall the highway # but there's only one and it goes all the way down to I-70 near Grand Junction. I'm sure it's easier and safer to drive southeast, as I did, since you'll have the rocks at your right and the incredible view to film on your left. It's one of the most incredible places I've ever seen and I hope to see it again.
