The first leg of our trip to the desert Southwest was at the Valley of Fire State Park, about an hour northeast of Las Vegas. The terrain is spectacular – a mix of red and white sandstone, sometimes layered. In addition, Valley of Fire contains several sites of petroglyphs, which are drawings by ancient residents of the valley.

The petroglyphs are at the top of the stairway. How did they get up there?
