We are going in June, Thank you for putting the heat and temperature into perspective You probably saved the lives of amateur hikers like myself, lives.
We camped there when our kids were little, maybe 8 and 10. We arrived after dark, and had to set up our camp in the dark with the van headlights.We listened to coyotes and a great horned owl all night, and it got super cold! I think it was March. Next morning we awoke to all these bizarre formations! Great place!
LOL! I guess what you are saying is...don't go in the summer when it is 111? One of these days I'm going to get there - but in the winter! Thanks for sharing Jamal!
Yeah... it's funny because on many of my spring videos I'll often say that I much prefer the heat to the cold, but... this was a little TOO hot! On the upside though... I did have the place all to myself! 👍😀 Thx for watching and the comment.
Just there, the end of April, was getting too hot and got heatstroke. 🥵 Loved every minute, except 🤮 over the rocks. Had to keep taking pictures as I was escorted out. Looking forward to returning 😊
Awesome -- glad you had a good trip. I just read that they are now closing some of the trails during the summer because of the extreme heat. Thanks for watching and the comment! 🌞✌️
Great place. I haven’t been there. I have a lot of paintings from Valley of Fire. My friend’s mother lived in the area on her retirement and painted all the time. I was the one who admired her paintings and after her death I got around 20. Next place to explore. Thank you for the inspiration.
Jamal, I love your stuff, I always am impressed with the videography and the truly exceptional scenery! Thanks for going the extra mile for all of us who may never get there.
Excellent! fire wave was impressive even if not huge... we like it Hot but yeah 111 is pushing it a little hahah .. great stuff throughout the video thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing! I visited this park about a year and half ago on my first trip to Zion. We only had time for one hike and it was a toss up between Fire Wave and White Domes loop. We ended up doing White Domes because we wanted to see the small slot canyon. I enjoyed seeing the Fire Wave on here and it makes me want to stop there again next time I'm in that side of the country! :-)
Awesome! Always appreciate your contagiously positive attitude about your hikes. There is a lot of good stuff hiding out in the NV desert and I'm not talking about aliens! 🤣👽🏜
wow beautiful ! i never realized how much natural beauty nevada had to offer, i have to check it out (maybe not in the summer tho, lol) thanks for the vids :)
Valley of Fire is just one huge adult playground. There's just tons of ways to explore and have fun out there. I climbed to the top of that mini "Yellow Rock" at 3:19 and the views there are awesome.
I agree! I had my eye on that yellow rock -- it just wasn't the day for exploration for me. I also passed on "Crazy Hill" and a few other short hikes. There's some longer unofficial routes there that looks cool too. Thanks for watching and hope all is good for you! 👍
Keep up the great work! People, seriously do live, vicariously through you!! Also, I emailed you last year, in regards to Wrather Arch... You gave me a brief description as too how to find it.. FYI.. I found it!!! I am taking my niece on her first backpacking trip this year. I've got permits for wire pass all the way to Lee's ferry beginning July 1st
That's great -- so many people don't make the short side-hike to get to that spot, but it really is worth it IMHO. Hope you enjoy your next trip as well. Cheers! ✌
That is one beautiful park. I tell anyone going to Vegas to rent a cheap car and visit Valley of Fire State Park. I don't think hot weather is when I would go. Each of the dozen times I've been there, I was escaping the cold Great Lakes area.
It's just 1.5 miles roundtrip, so definitely time for another hike or two (as long as it's not too hot.) White Domes loop is probably the better hike, but the Fire Wave is a better destination. I'd do both if possible. Have a good trip!
I agree. I know it's gained in popularity over the years, but it still seems far from overrun (though... mid-day on a Wednesday in August is probably not a true indicator!) Actually... parts were crowded during my visit; but not with tourists, but instead with a large film crew shooting something. They even had the scenic drive shut down for a while and took over one camp area.
I don't know if you will see this I'm taking a trip in Dec to Vegas and I wanna spend a day or couple of hours in valley of fire is there clear directions to get to the trails and are there clear markings on the trails
Heya -- yes, trails are fairly well marked and there's decent signage throughout the park. I don't think the Fire Wave itself has a sign for the parking area, but there is a sign/kiosk at the trailhead for the trail itself. Stop in at the Visitor Center to get clarification/overview of the options. Have fun. 👍🌞
Well... just committed to getting out and seeing some awesome sights as much as possible. 2020 made that difficult so I had to make due when I could! Thanks for watching. ✌

Yeah -- the heat can be really crazy there in the summer. Enjoy your trip and thanks for watching and the comment! 🌞✌

Wow that place is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! 👍
@@Acrossutah you're welcome! We really enjoy making outdoor content also
Wow!! Superb one
Thanks, so much, for taking the time and effort to make and post this video. I'm making a list of places to go and things to see.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for another great video. I enjoyed the little canyon section at the end!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad I included those canyons shots. The footage isn't that great -- but it captures the place (and the time!)
Just there, the end of April, was getting too hot and got heatstroke. 🥵 Loved every minute, except 🤮 over the rocks. Had to keep taking pictures as I was escorted out. Looking forward to returning 😊

Great to see you out and about! Stay safe.
Thanks -- not nearly as much as I would have liked this year, but... still trying! Thx for watching!
Great place. I haven’t been there. I have a lot of paintings from Valley of Fire. My friend’s mother lived in the area on her retirement and painted all the time. I was the one who admired her paintings and after her death I got around 20. Next place to explore. Thank you for the inspiration.
Those must be precious keepsakes! VoF is definitely worth a visit -- even if you have just a half-day to explore. Thanks for watching!
I went last July and it was amazing, the heat and rock formations make it one of my favorite places.
Thanks for watching and the comment!
@@Acrossutah you're very welcome, have fun hiking

Heading to Vegas in April and can't wait to head to this park; it's the main reason we're renting a car. It looks spectacular, nice work on this.
Cool -- thanks for watching and enjoy your trip. 👍

We were there this weekend and I had a heat stroke! Glad I made it out alive and on my own.
Hope you had plenty of water... and a good trip! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. 👍
Elephant rock was so cool Jamal 👌👌
Awesome! Always appreciate your contagiously positive attitude about your hikes. There is a lot of good stuff hiding out in the NV desert and I'm not talking about aliens! 🤣👽🏜
Thanks! 👍 I definitely could spend some more time in Nevada.
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!

Beautiful place. What cameras did you use for this?
Much of it was shot on the Insta360 One-R, but I also used my Pixel 2XL for a few shots as well. Thanks for watching! 👍

I was just there in October and it was 104F
Great video, will check out in March of 2022
Cool -- thanks for watching and enjoy your trip. 👍

Valley of Fire is severely underrated. Love it there
Which of the two do you suggest? Can both be doing the same day? Is the total hike 1.5 mi from the car and back or one way? Heading there Monday.
It's just 1.5 miles roundtrip, so definitely time for another hike or two (as long as it's not too hot.) White Domes loop is probably the better hike, but the Fire Wave is a better destination. I'd do both if possible. Have a good trip!
Great video buddy. Hope you drink lots of water after this hike.
Thanks -- I did... much more than I expected. Cheers!
Looks great. Keep up the hard work ✌
Quite the “hidden” gem offering a lot of variety without being rundown by crowds
I agree. I know it's gained in popularity over the years, but it still seems far from overrun (though... mid-day on a Wednesday in August is probably not a true indicator!) Actually... parts were crowded during my visit; but not with tourists, but instead with a large film crew shooting something.

@Stinky Piece of Cheese Compared to many parks in the southwest it is not "busy".
Awesome !
Thanks!
Its beautiful there at the FireWave! Enjoyed your video. I am adding it to my destinations to travel. Did you go for mexican food after this hike? 👍🙂
Thanks! No... that would have been great, but instead I just had a long drive with some fast-food along the way. 😀
I don't know if you will see this I'm taking a trip in Dec to Vegas and I wanna spend a day or couple of hours in valley of fire is there clear directions to get to the trails and are there clear markings on the trails

104? You sir are committed to ur channel
Well... just committed to getting out and seeing some awesome sights as much as possible. 2020 made that difficult so I had to make due when I could! Thanks for watching. ✌
@@Acrossutah I’m from the rainy part of the country so I’m bad with heat LOL
Jamal, I would like to smoke a Pipe with you next year during a hike in Utah. Possiple ? :-)
Best Wishes from Leipzig Germany

Anything is possible! Thanks for watching all the way from Germany! 👍
