DAY 56

Callville Bay (Lake Mead) Nevada, Valley of Fire, Nevada

Perhaps the best days riding of the trip in terms of scenery, completely unexpected.  Every twist in the road brought a new volcanic sandstone/limestone/lake/desert view, plenty of colours and contours.  However, there was a ferocious side-wind mixing with the desert heat which made it a little challenging.
Valley of Fire on first impression, is named so aptly.  It is red rock sandstone walls that are carved by wind, and when the sun hits them it is ignited.

That tiny dot in the middle of the road is Luke!
