The Photographer at the Gates of Dawn

Stripes are something you don’t see too often in nature (unless you live near a bunch of zebras), and the stripes at Fire Wave really stand out. In this isolated area of Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada, the slickrock has interchanging streaks of beige and red-orange colored sandstone. Fire Wave has a bowl-shaped depression with a couple rising points covered with wavy lines. If you weren’t allowed to walk right across Fire Wave, you might think the stripes were painted. See the magic for yourself on Fire Wave Trail, which is 1.5 miles round trip with 175 feet of elevation change
