How nice to spend New Year's Eve and New Year? Certainly in a nice place:) The proposal to visit my favorite park in the U.S. which is Valley of Fire in Nevada was adopted unanimously. Left to get from San Francisco to Las Vegas as soon as possible. We left late in the afternoon and actually
in the evening and we arrived just after 2am. Fortunately, our friend who traveled at the same time, the southern part of California has decided to spend with us the other day and stopped for the night in Boulder City and we benefited from his hospitality and upchaliśmy in a small room with 5 people. Morning sun was shining and the weather was like at the end of December was hot. For starters fell on the Hoover Dam, which was located "just around the corner."
As for me, this is not a landmark, many tons of concrete somehow captivates me. We were telling quite sluggishly after watching the tape giving the entire structure of the energy needed for lighting the entire Las Vegas. Construction of the bridge, which will relieve firewall from vehicular traffic, moving at a pretty good pace. View of Hoover Dam from a height of the bridge will be doing an impression of hell. We gathered up the road to Vegas, and it was not far away and so we got special traffic quickly. We parked at New York Casino and we went after Stripie posnuć and casinos. Slowly the people were put in a mood of New Year's Eve and all the municipal services were preparing to adopt the streets of thousands of people. The evening we returned to the pre-booked hotel to recuperate a little before nightfall. Again, tight ... but we managed.
Jakoś po 22 wyszliśmy "w miasto". Większość ulic prowadzących do Stripa była zamknięta dla ruchu samochodowego i było całkiem przyjemnie maszerować środkiem drogi. Niemiła niespodzianka czekała nas na miejscu. Władze miasta postanowiły postawić barierki na biegnące przez środek Las Vegas Blvd i tak naprawdę dla pieszych pozostało troszkę więcej niż... chodnik. Policja reagowała szybko i zabierała szklane butelki! Pozostało przelewać napoje do kubeczków... Jakoś nie czułem nastroju. Pomysł miałem żeby dotrzeć na Fremont Experience gdzie zawsze jest ciekawa zabawa ale niestety nie udało się break through the wild crowd. At times it was not enough to miss the panic and the crowd trampled one another. I was stuck for several minutes in the grip of a human storm. I could not move. It is time to 12 o'clock and fireworks.
We got lost and unfortunately, the climax, everyone enjoyed the new year, squeezed in a crowd. One of the worst New Year's Eve in the life ... happens. Somehow we managed to quickly find and get out of the trap. Relief amazing. Drinks that we had proved to be quite strong and began to give of himself know. Left get through to the hotel. Small skirmishes with the taxi driver, who made a round around the city trying to stretch us. Heavy morning hangover and a trip to the Valley of Fire. After less than 40 minutes of driving I-15 we were on the spot.
described the place early on so I will confine myself to a few things. The valley is incredibly magical colors and rock formations are breathtaking. After a few meters beyond the entry stopped for rock climbing. Climbing is very easy and the texture of rocks is prepared to do and keeps us as Spider-Man:). Then got to the campsite reserve your place, it appeared that there was no problem with that. Are matching a nice refuge obscured by the human eye. Here, excess, that is the most wicked camper I have seen such places on the tent that we felt like in a fairy tale. I recommend Walk-in Campground. These are a few places but so isolated, so intimate that you feel really great. This is a must see!. After the break we started exploring Park tent.
few wandering paths, some quite distant and worth the effort, some so hidden that you can only get accident. An incredible feast for the eye and soul. The magic of the place does not allow to pass by and have not heard of other words as soon as enthusiasm over the place. Nowhere so hurry pozwalaliśmy a long rests. The days were very warm and even hot and the nights very cold but not frosty. So the fire was quite nice. Our shadows on the wall of a blood red in the middle of the night created a wonderful atmosphere. The moon shone so brightly that it has continued on without flashlights. Mornings were divine, the rising sun slowly kolorowało rocks, which slowly began to burn! What a fabulous colors and saturation! I climbed on top of one of the hills and admired the panoramic view of the place, I found several natural small rooms with windows where you can safely spend in the summer. Rocks create amazing shapes and resembles a cave - a fabulous holiday. Honestly there are no words to describe it. Time went by and it was time to return. Again, traffic jams at the exit from Vegas ... art bypass congested roads and transit by Bakerfield (which nobody saw So I guess the rumors about the existence of this city have not been confirmed.) Interstate 5 and the number ... in the morning at home. One thing is certain yet time is not planning to return to the Valley of Fire ...
