Snow Canyon State park. We found a lot of canyon, but there was no snow to be seen. We did find some lava tubes though.

Its a lot bigger than it looks (and it keeps going down)

Valley of Fire

First stop on the the trip and only an hour from Vegas was Valley of Fire state park. A beautiful park which was the filming location for many movies including Star Trek Generations. The Valley of Fire was the desert planet where Kirk meets his end. Luckily for us we did not encounter any perilous metal bridges.

Valley of Fire aptly named; but in October this warning is a little overkill
