Valley of Fire Day Two

 

The Valley of Fire is an amazing place, it is so beautiful and so accessible for most people.

This is what remains of the set of the movie The Professionals, with Lee Marvin, Burt Lancaster and Jack Palance.

Our friend Martin lent us the DVD of the movie a few days before we went to VOF  so we recognized the places where some of the scenes were shot.

The slot canyon they travelled through.

I was trying to get a picture of the little tree growing out of the rock. I didn’t do anything to change the colour.

We drove through the campground. The sites were $10.00 per night plus the $10.00 park entrance fee.
