I had the good fortune to have a wonderful guide, Adam, all to myself starting at 5 am guiding me thru a little slice of heaven.
I don't know what was the best part: the beautiful Valley of Fire, the fun and different type of hike/climb than I've ever done or the guide, Adam. From the moment he was there waiting for me at 5 am, I was immediately comfortable and enjoying myself driving in the dark under the stars to Valley of Fire to watch the breathtaking sunrise and begin an unforgettable morning hike. I felt like I was out there with an old friend and thrilled to have made a new one. And having your guide take pictures from beginning to end of everything is truly priceless!!!
I highly recommend making the time to take the opportunity of being picked up in time to catch the sunrise for multiple reasons. The obvious: the spectacular sunrise, but also it was so cool riding to Valley of Fire in the dark by the light of the moon and then the creeping dawn, and the dark start time also made the ride home a whole new experience in the light....not to mention a cooler temperature to hike in ! As long as you don't have a disability, the hike is really not difficult and your guide will tailor it and help you. If no one else is booked, pay the nominal upcharge--beyond worth it !
Thank you again Adam for an amazing experience and for your service to Our Beautiful Country; Semper Fi <3
