  • Good morning.

  • Today we are going to explore value of Fire State Park with my two pumps.

  • This is Zoe And this is captain.

  • We got in last night.

  • We had a bit of a delay but we didn't make it and we got in around 10:30 PM.

  • And as soon as we got in we went straight to bed.

  • I woke up early this morning, took the dogs out for a little walk and now I'm heading out to Mcdonald's to grab some breakfast and then after that we are going to head to the state park.

  • So we're going to spend one day here and hopefully um we'll cover the two trails that I really want to um get to today.

  • And then if there's more time we'll do some little extra trails.

  • There's two main trails I want to go on.

  • They're both relatively easy hikes and the scenery is gorgeous and last time I took Zoe, she really enjoyed it.

  • So this is Captain's first time here and I think he's going to really enjoy it too.

  • So yeah, that's our plan for today, is to tackle two hikes and then also maybe some little ones.

  • Um If we have time, we're at our first stop at White Domes Trail and this is about a 1.5 mile round trip and it is about 60 degrees.

  • It is at about 11:15 a.m. On a sunday and there's still plenty of parking.

  • So um if you're worried about it being really busy at this time.

  • We found parking and it is March.

  • So L and the time just changed.

  • And yeah, so we're gonna get ready to go do this hike now with the pups.

  • Are you ready for your first hike here?

  • I gotta put your collar on.

  • Okay, Kathy I'm just taking a little break right now.

  • Just drink some water already.

  • Like halfway done on this trail.

  • I don't know why there's a lot of bees right here where we're resting.

  • It's pretty warm, 60° with the sun out and hiking.

  • Um because it's pretty, it's not level.

  • I mean you do kind of climb over rocks and stuff.

  • It's a little bit strenuous.

  • So yeah, it's a little bit tiring and this be won't go away.

  • It's scaring me.

  • Why is there a b over here?

  • I'm afraid it's gonna bite me.

  • Alright.

  • So it is almost 1:00.

  • We just finished the hike, Man.

  • We started by a little bit after 11.

  • Right.

  • So yeah, that was a while on that hike for a while.

  • It is lunchtime now, Well past lunch.

  • So we're gonna go back into town and get some lunch and these two are probably going to nap.

  • Mm hmm mm hmm.

  • After a hike at White don't we went back into town, had some lunch at Mcdonald's and then we went back to the hotel and took a little nap and it is almost four o'clock now and we're gonna head back to the park and do one more trail and we might visit the visitor center.

  • I'm not sure.

  • We might also take a look at this overlook that's not a named trail or anything or overlook.

  • So we're going to try to figure out if we could find where that spot is.

  • But the other trail that we're going to do, it's not called the White.

  • Don't let me look it up real quick.

  • I always forget what it's called Fire Wave Trail.

  • I keep wanting to say it's the rainbow um, something rainbow trail, but it's called the Fire Wave Trail.

  • Now this trail is like all the trails are dog friendly and this trail actually was not a part of the park before it wasn't marked or mapped out, but because it was so popular that they decided to put this on the park map.

  • So it's a really pretty hike, just like the first one, a little bit different.

  • So we just visited the visitor center and did like this really super short hike.

  • I don't even think it's a quarter mile.

  • Um, it's almost just like a little stroll.

  • But now we are at fire Wave trail.

  • This is going to be our last hike today.

  • And um, hopefully we'll get when we get to the end, it's around sunset.

  • So we'll see some nice beautiful colors.

  • All right guys.

  • Yes.

  • Mhm, mm hmm.

  • Just finished the Fire Wave trail and the sun is setting right now.

  • We got there a little bit early and didn't want to wait now for the sun to set.

  • So we decided to head back.

  • Oh man, I'm exhausted and thursday, I think we're gonna try to go to one more spot and then call it a day.

  • Alright, so that was our day here at Valley of Fire State Park.

  • I keep wanting to say national Park, but it's a state park, Valley of Fire State Park.

  • We did two hikes, Fire Wave Trail and White Dome.

  • White Dome is my favorite.

  • I think the dogs enjoyed White Dome a lot too because it's just a little bit more different scenery throughout the hike, which I really liked and it was a loop and then the fire wave is like you go to one point and then you head back, it's still beautiful.

  • Um right now the sun is setting, it is 6 42 and the weather was really nice.

  • Um starting to cool down now and that was pretty much how we spend our day.

  • I don't know if we could have fit in, we probably could have fit in one more hike if we didn't take a break, but we really needed that break.

  • I think the dogs really enjoyed it.

  • They got a lot of attention whenever they saw other people hiking.

  • Whenever we got back into the car, they passed out, they loved running around a lot of sniffing and chasing each other.

  • They really had a great time, so I'm really glad they got to come here if you like this video, give it a thumbs up and don't forget to subscribe to our channel by.
