A Desert Walk in the Valley of Fire - Prospect Trail area - NOT Yellowstone

When it gets cold in Yellowstone, snow starts accumulating, and all the grizzly bears are off sleeping in their dens, which makes it is hard to get motivated to start snowshoeing. So I thought I would go down and do a little hiking in the Mesquite Nevada area where the weather is still warm. It was warm, the air was fresh, and I only saw 2 hikers in the Valley of Fire. All of you people in this part of the country are so lucky to have such a huge area to hike and to be out in Gods beautiful creation with no other people around. Go out and explore and be close to the Lord.

Beautiful scenery! Thank you for sharing.

[@robinr1714]

I live in a mountainous area, so I don't see wide-open spaces. The views, rock formations and colors are spectacular! Thanks for sharing your hike.

[@benjeanettebooth1800]

Valley of Fire is beautiful red rock desert country. Awesome that you got to see some desert bighorn; that was a good sized ram.

Love overcast days.

That was beautiful. Thank you and Happy New Year.

Beautiful area north of Vegas.

Thanks for your guidance Stan. I hiked the Valley of Fire State Park last week. It's a nice break from the snow,, and has amazing geology and wildlife we don't get in MT. Scrambling around slickrock, photographing arches, and backtracking out of narrowing slot canyons is a completely different experience.

[@mycocoaone]

I have driven through this but have not done a trail. Now I am!

[@garyag45]

Very nice, love the desert 🏜 😎🇺🇸🦅

[@NicoleHikesalot]

really amazing hike, I loved seeing the mountain sheep. I did that white dome area when I was last there, it's really beautiful. The views from the top of the ridge were awesome.

Thank you for not set music in background ,god bless you fella.

[@chrisanngianoli2206]

We were just there. I’ll look forward to this. And. We did see bighorns

[@blueinlight]

Super cool!

[@cachi-7878]

This looks surreal, almost like an out worldly scene from some SiFi movie.

[@robinmiller5256]

This place is quite The experience and I like it better than Moab. I love that Arch campground is in such a beautiful area, and the Rams that come down to drink off the water fountains are great to wake up to!

[@jameswalters8755]

Happy New Year Mr Mills. I associate you with Yellowstone. Beautiful terrain in Nevada.

[@burkehollingsworth8585]

Nice desert hike! Last night, my Brother-in-law and myself went for an evening hike in the snow storm and we were walking in snow up to our knees at times. We saw a lot of Turkeys and it was a workout! Thanks for sharing Stan! Happy New Year! 😃

Happy Hiking in the New Year, Stan!

You've inspired us to go there in the future Stan. Beautiful and inspiring.

[@janesimone8015]

Wow that was beautiful to see that hike with all the rock formations, cactus and sheep. I loved it. Thanks for sharing!

[@robertcalamusso4218]

Great films Stan. Here. YSNP.

[@teresabarbao8593]

Beauty in the desert , a lot of nice cactus. Very nice seeing the sheep. Looks like a really nice hike through all the rock formations! Glad you were able to vacation in mesquite. Great change from Yellowstone hiking . Thank you !

[@marjorjorietillman856]

The formation of those rocks are so beautiful! I wonder who are the main predators in this desert??

[@jamesbonner5989]

Nice area to hike, different terrain and plants.

[@bobbysnow5478]

Thanks for the video! I was just there at Thanksgiving…amazing place…some of the best campsites on the planet…the park was completely filled with urban dwellers.

[@marsack7]

We stayed overnight at the campground. We loved it. Wanted to go back but we never did until today. Keep us on the trail even though our hips don't allow it anymore. TYVM, Stan. Hope you carry a compass. Pretty lonely out there.

[@pau1h0ffman]

No place to be during monsoon season, but beautiful nonetheless.

[@judyzapf1706]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!! DOES THE RED ROCKS HAVE A NAME?

[@loricollins3163]

I was introduced to this area a few years ago by friends who stay there every year to escape the winter in Montana. Glad you found it too! The mountain sheep are something special…one time I had to wait almost an hour for them clear out before finishing my hike. Special place. Happy New Year Stan.

[@robinmiller5256]

That’s exactly what I’m doing...escaping Montana winters...from hell!

[@StanMills]

That was what I was doing also. But now I am back in Montana and will have to start snowshoeing and winter camping. I did 3 days of hiking in the desert and I must say I sure enjoyed it.

[@loricollins3163]

@@StanMills Nice! Good to take in all of God’s beauty. 🐐

[@ingeborgm6147]

This landscape looks pretty hostile and dangerous, to me anyway and I would get the heebie jeebies after dark. Some great hiding places though! Stan, you find some interesting places; thank you. Just because I find the place alien does not mean I did not enjoy the video I do and I learn!

[@nancyfromswlouisiana8480]

Beautiful hike. Know why it’s called valley of fire , all the red rocks. I still love the tree covered mountains and seeing the snow. Its all Gods glorious handiwork no matter where you go . Nothing compares to Gods beautiful creation, nature ! Many blessings for you and your family , Happy New Year ! See you on the next adventure , thank you !

[@kennethgordon9837]

I have been here many times fortunately. Is there a specific marking at Valley of Fire road showing where Prospect Trail. begins? Thanks for the tour.

[@StanMills]

Yes

Nope, I think that was just me straining going over the rocks.

[@markissboi3583]

where's the Wildlife at ?

[@StanMills]

The mountain sheep were along the Prospect Trail. I only saw a Jackrabbit when I was hiking off trail.
