‘Viridian 3’, the planet on which Soran (Malcolm McDowell) tries to return to the total joy of the Nexus, and where James T Kirk (William Shatner) finally drops off the intergalactic perch, is Silica Dome in the Valley of Fire State Park, northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada.
ReplyDeleteTo reach the Valley, take I-15 north from Vegas for 33 miles. A signposted turnoff, Route 169, winds for another 18 miles to the park entrance, and on to the Visitor Center (8.30am - 4.30pm). Silica Dome, a dazzling white rounded peak among the fiery red sandstone outcrop, is off Fire Creek Road.
Visit the park late in the day to see the vivid scarlet outcrops blaze up under the setting afternoon sun. This is one often mentioned locations – it's savage beauty has also been seen in action adventure The Professionals and Sam Peckinpah's elegiac The Ballad of Cable Hogue.
