Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort State Historic Park & Bowl of Fire geology site

 We decided to go south for some fun since it's getting too cold outside here at the moment.  We enjoyed learning about this old fort and the beginning history of Las Vegas that it helped to bring about.  It's not a huge park that takes a lot of time, but it was worth the trip when you add in the coming home trip up  Highway169 and Northshore Road through Lake Mead National Recreation where there are and some amazing geological sites.  It's a kind of a backroad way to Las Vegas.  It's two-lane and 55 mph, but the scenery makes it worth it.  We had a great day of it!
