On the day leaving Vegas to go back to Salt Lake, we stopped by the Valley of Fire State Park (50 miles east of Vegas) on our way home. I missed the Fire Wave last year because there was no sign for this unique trail. This year, they put up the sign and we did not miss it. It was a gorgeous day to hike this place.

For our Christmas activity, we and 3 other families decided to go to a warmer place. The default for many people is Las Vegas due to its geographic proximity to Salt Lake City. But we don't want to wander in the casinos during the day, so we visited a few places just outside the city. We went to hike the Craft Mountain Loop trail located in the Red Rock Conservation Area. The hike was supposed to be easy, but there are a few spots that require some rock scrambling. Though it was scary at times, but thanks to God's protection, we all made it back to the parking lot and had a great memory.
