Let Valley of Fire overwhelm your senses, with stunning scenery, wide vistas and brightly coloured rock formations. Valley of Fire is full of vibrant, red Aztec Sandstone outcrops nestled among grey and tan limestone mountains. The sandstone is from the Jurassic period and is the remnant of the sand left behind by the wind after inland seas subsided and the land rose. Enjoy stopping at a number of unique sites such as Beehives, Elephant Rock, White Domes, Mouse’s Tank, Rainbow Vista and others. The Visitor Centre helps interpret the geology, wildlife and local history. Just over an hour outside of Las Vegas, Nevada’s first State Park will welcome you with natural beauty and a peaceful environment away from the neon. Valley of Fire is truly one of Nevada’s gems that should not be missed.Depart your Las Vegas hotel for a 1-hour drive North to Valley of Fire State Park, the first state park in Nevada, offering one of the most striking landscapes anywhere.
