Correct meaning

"The group jumped over a valley where some trees were burning on the opposite side."

I am not sure about the location of a velly.

What textbook translates and what I did is different.

Books says, the group jumped over the opposite side of a valley. In the vally, some trees were burning.

Meanwhile, what I think is that group jumped over to the valley and on the opposite side of valley, trees are burning.

Which one is correct?
