About the artwork

On our first visit to "The Valley of Fire," one thing was immediately clear. The time we spent here was too short! We would see if we could schedule time at the end of the trip for an extra day in this laboratory of geology.
Moreover, since one of the routes, the route to "The Fire Wave," was closed due to the extreme heat, I wanted to return at all costs.
We continued our journey through Utah, Nevada and Arizona, returning to "The Valley of Fire" on our last full day of the trip. It remained exciting for a while, because hot, it still was. Was the route open now?
From a short distance away, I saw several parked cars at the beginning of the route. YES!
I practically jumped out of our camper, and soon we were on the trail. To be honest, "The Fire Wave" was different than in my representation. The Internet pictures were clearly manipulated. Actually, that was better too, because now I was allowed to form my own image of what I envisioned.
I will come back to "The Fire Wave" in another photo, as we continued our way along the unofficial trail, which had been named the "Seven Wonders of the World trail." Frankly, I think they are selling the trail, short with this name. You could hardly take a step without discovering a new WOW moment.
For me, the biggest surprise was the "pastel rainbow rock." That's not the name on it, but that's the name I gave it. I sat here for quite some time at first, because this doesn't exist, this can't be, and this is not real. And yet...
Edit:
Later I discovered the real name. "Crazy Hill"
