Carrizozo, New Mexico
The Valley of Fires, New Mexico, felt like a weird place to spend July 4th, but we ended up getting a big storm with lots of lightning, which is kind of like fireworks! There were two big attractions here. First up was the actual Valley of Fires, a giant lava field. And then in the morning we stopped at Three Rivers Petroglyphs on the way out of town, and got to see rock carvings that are over a thousand years old!
