Valley of Fire hike "Through the Rocks" to Technicolor basin

 This hike of 5 miles with negligible elevation gain (300 ft). Starts at P1 and goes west through the rocks to the other side on the Prospect trail where there are some colorful rocks and an arch. It returns by way of a different pass through the rocks.

Leaving the cars we hike west toward the buff dome where top of the workd arch is and turn right at the the first opportunity after cresting the first low ridge. Then head up toward the Eye of the Iguanna, passing between it and the TOW monolith.
