White Domes Trail, Valley of Fire State Park


Valley of Fire State Park is the oldest state park in Nevada. The name is derived from red sandstone formations which appear to be on fire when reflecting the sunshine. The park is located just 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas. It is a place with full of surprise, regardless whether you are a nature lover or a photographer!

This picture was taken at the trail head of White Domes Trail. The trail leads the way to a beautiful White Domes slot canyon. The trail itself is extremely photogenic, thereby provide endless creative opportunities particularly for intimate landscape photography. This picture is one of my favorite creation, where I spotted the tree and glass lie on the beautiful stripe-patterned cliff. What's a perfect combination!

Noteworthy, White Domes area was the location for the 1966 movie "The Professionals", a typical 1960s western genre starred by Lee Marvin, Burt Lancaster and Claudia Cardinale.
