We enjoyed this State Park a lot, and considered it as impressive as a National Park. It looked unlike anything else we have seen so far, because red rock shot up from a green-gray valley floor. The rock formations resembled fire especially at sunset, and sunrise, which is probably how it received its name.
We walked a few short hikes. The longest one, The Seven Wonders Trail, has what is likely the most famous rock formation of the Park, which is called Fire Wave. It has beautiful red and white stripes winding around similar to a giant agate. There was also a fun, narrow canyon, that the trail twisted through. One of the trails, Mouse’s Tank, had various panels of petroglyphs, which we enjoyed looking at.
On the second and third days of our stay, some of us biked down a road to where an empty parking lot is, and the others picked us up there. While we were riding down a hill, we sighted bighorn sheep, and stopped. They were spotted other times also.
Since we could not find a church on Sunday, we decided to sing some hymns together, and play instruments up on a rock
