    Valley of Fire is such a unique place. I'm jealous you saw a a bighorn sheep while you were there!

    Bighorn sheep shed in the warm months.

    Wow! You saw big horn sheep on a random visit to Valley of Fire! Do you have ANY idea how lucky you were? Amazing! The reason it looks like a film set is dozens of movies from the Ten Commandments to Star Trek have been filmed there. You didn't mention the 4,000 year old petroglyphs. They are All over the park! Including Atlatl Rock just outside the campsite!

    Love your travel adventures. You stumbled across one of my favorite places around Las Vegas, We were there in April and the desert in bloom will take your breath away, The vivid colors of the cactus in bloom, as well as the wildflowers among the red rocks is truly one of the most awesome sites I have ever seen. I hope you are able to make it back there one day.

    If you ever come to Canada some of the best camping is around Flin Flon Manitoba, lakes, trees nature and at night the Northern LIghts beautiful...

    I lived next to a amazing place similar to that when I was a kid in yorkshire. We even named the rocks Indian rock and Cowboy rocks brings back amazing childhood memories We spent days on end for years playing in this unbalivabley beautifull magical place on our door step.Our house was called Beau View which means beautifull View.

    You stumbled upon my all-time favorite campground and I'm so glad you did! We originally stopped there too one year on the way to Zion and went back several times over the years just to go there specifically (without being on the way to Zion). I'm glad to see it's still so affordable and beautiful. The one bit of wildlife they also had (and might still have) are adorable little bats that come out late at night and circle around the outside of the well-lit restroom, swooping down on the moths that are attracted to the light. We originally thought they were dragonflies, they were so small.Getting to see them was our consolation prize for having to get up in the middle of the night to pee as tent campers (no built-in toilet to use!). Also at night were amazing views of the stars.

    • @Yvonnemar77

      Did they name the campsite??

    • @karenogush5622
      @karenogush5622 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Yvonnemar77 I don't think so. When I went there were two main campgrounds there -- one more developed with showers and bathrooms and one less developed with no showers (but I think they did have porta potties). We always stayed in the more developed one.

  • @ladymc2021
    @ladymc2021 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm shocked you guys walked around there so brave as having lived in the desert for over 20 yrs in AZ, I was amazed that there was no scary animals or insects such as very dangerous snakes, scorpians, spiders, mountain lions, etc that could of popped out at you lol !
    Great vid of these areas though guys as I have through there more times than I can count to travel up north and visit my grandparents in Montana and Oregon when I was young.
    Fun fact - it gets so hot in Death Valley that there is rumor the rocks themselves even move on their own.

    I stayed at Arch Rock campground for two weeks in October. So many places to explore and no crowds, yet. Such a magical place- I hope you will be able to return - the road by the visitor’s center that leads to the Fire Wave is a photographer’s dream.

    Great content as usual. This video is bringing back some great memories for me. I did a 2 week road trip in early December 2 years ago starting at Arches National Park near Moab UT and ending at Zion and all the parks along the way had breathtaking scenery. I highly recommend spending time in some of the parks at night, especially where there isn't much light pollution. I did some long exposure shots and time lapses in Arches and was the only person there. The number of stars you see in the sky is a spiritual experience!

    I've never been to Sedona, Arizona but I've been told it's the most fantastic place to visit. An unforgettable place.... and one on my bucket list. Planning a visit soon, and going hiking there as well.

    Absolutely Stunningly Beautiful! And we're yanks, as you guys say ;)
    But seriously, we've traveled all over the USA and somehow this spot evaded us. Haven't even seen this campground on our favorite RV'er channels. Huge thanks for this share, and Great B-Roll too.
    Best, James and Kim

    Great spot! You will be in for sooooo many wonderful sights in this part of the USA. Just the so many colours of sand is mind boggling! I did not know this park but I know Zion! You will love it but if it will be that silent as this park I really doubt!

  • @YN2O2T
    @YN2O2T 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Best Camping site for us would be site 9 at Fisherman’s Island in Charlevoix, Michigan. Completely private spot, no other campers for a quarter mile. We also like High-cliffs State Park in Wisconsin for its High Cliffs!

  • @peterc5543
    @peterc5543 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Valley of fire is lovely. But a humble suggestion is you guys can do your talking and descriptions off camera. That way we can all see more of the beautiful scenery.... I suggest you guys check out some other travel videos where the creators of the video are mostly off camera.

I couldn’t picture what was involved. The reaction to it was Priceless. I loved when you asked, how much do you pee? Us women pee a lot!

    Hi, Alex and Emma. I recently came across one of your videos and was intrigued by all your travels. I know you are currently traveling across the United States to see many of our national parks so I wanted to recommend a future trip...should you ever want to take it. I know you are currently heading east so you would not be able take this trip on your current travels but I wanted to recommend that you might take a future trip along highway 101, that is the Pacific Coast Highway, and it runs all along the west coast of America. The southern end of the highway is in southern California and the northern end is in the Olympic National Park in Washington State. This highway is considered the most scenic highway in the United States. On the Olympic National Park there is the only rain forest north of the equator. This trip is really beautiful and I think you would enjoy it if you ever decide to take it. Anyway, I hope you both get to continue your trip across America. Have fun. :-)

    Usually a great rule of thumb, when you find a great spot that not a lot of people know about, the last thing you want to do is make a TH-cam video and tell the whole world about it, lol
    Very cool video, if I ever make my way out there I will definitely camp at that spot.

    Too bad you couldn't stay in the area longer. There is amazing free boondocking sites on Lake Mead right near there and free hot springs to enjoy too. There is no reason to go to Vegas. It can't compare to the nature. I hope you are using freecampsites.net to find amazing places to camp all over the US. I have been nomading for 2 years and haven't spent a penny.
