Valley of Fires






On to the Valley of Fires, also a BLM managed property. This site has the youngest lava flow on the Continental US (Mount St. Helens erupted in 90 but did not cause a lava flow across the land) flowing into the Tularosa basin. The one photo is of a graceful Juniper thought to be over 400 years old. This is a nice campground but moving north has it's drawbacks with a storm moving in. Still, a beautiful spot to spend a few days.
