I was fascinated to see the desert when I moved to the west coast. I remember being giddy during our first trip to the Joshua Tree national park, I totally nerded out and bored my wife to tears explaining the difference between the Sonoran vs the Mojave Desert ecosystems. It was love at first sight for me with the desert, especially with the stunning sunsets and bright hues of amazing red deserts of the American southwest.
Since we live in Los Angeles, it’s just a matter of time before we started to do Las Vegas trips and I have been hearing so much about the Valley of Fire state park that is just a short drive from The Strip. So when we got an opportunity we made a trip to Vegas without visiting the strip. I took this shot while on the trail coming back from the Fire Wave. I love shooting the desert tones during golden hour using just the warm tones in the rock and sand to bring out the vividness of the subject.
