Windstone Arch aka Fire Cave

Stunning flame-red rock formation, easy walking, very short hike. You can extend your hike to Arch Rock or even the Pinnacle Loop Trail.

The Fire Cave, better known as the Windstone Arch, used to be one of the highlights of the Valley of Fire.
It is not far from the gravel road, but is still difficult to find, as nothing from the outside suggests its beauty. (See picture 3)When I last visited in 2012, it was still intact and a real beauty.flickr.com/photos/pharoahsax/52315060853Unfortunately, the vertical pillar in the foreground of the picture was destroyed intentionally or accidentally.The public announcement of the coordinates is unfortunately often the reason why such highlights are destroyed or damaged.I keep thinking about whether I should continue to publish the coordinates in order to bring such natural wonders closer to REAL nature lovers.If you still want to visit the Windstone Arch, the morning is recommended, as in the afternoon the sun shines through the openings and good photos become impossible.

Pictures 6 and 7 are from 2012 (before the destruction).
