Valley Of Fire State Park

Absolutely beautiful place to visit with the family. $10 per car to enter. I can’t wait to return for camping. The rock formations look alien and gorgeous. I would recommend going in the winter months. There is a lot to see and explore. Have comfortable hiking shoes.

I was not expecting such a fantastic scenic park! We were driving to Las Vegas when we saw the signs for Valley of Fire and I remembered a coworker had mentioned this place. So we took a detour. At first I was not going to enter due to the $15 fee. But decided I had made it this far and we could drive straight through. I was amazed at the very scenic red rock mountains. From the outside of the park you do not get a true impression. We spent about three hours in the park which is enough to simply see it. We did a few short hikes and drove everywhere we could. We also went in the winter and the park was packed! We skipped a few parking areas because they were full and we did not want to park illegally. But we were still able to see the sights from other viewing areas.

Absolutely beautiful, paradise for a photographer. I would recommend going as early as possible to catch the sunrise, there are some spots that are just awesome. The hikes are not crazy difficult, so you can do them with the gear. My must visit spots are the mouse tank road (right before rainbow vista), fire wave hike and just drive all the way down in mouse tank road, totally worth it. We went during end of September and at 8am the sun was high enough that we felt it was 2 pm, so carry water.

You have to experience a sunrise or sunset here to truly understand why they call it VALLEY OF FIRE. I’ve traveled the world, and can say with certainty- it’s one of the most beautiful desert experiences out there. That being said IT’S HOT- especially during the summer. As always, it’s important to remember to pack, dress and hydrate appropriately to ensure a great experience. Wearing shoes with thicker padding will help you traverse the shifting sand ground that lines the valley. Driving the loop is an experience in itself- but true happiness comes from taking a few moments to explore what’s behind some of the massive rock formations. Don’t leave without driving the scenic route around and beyond the visitor center. A mile or two up a steep incline drive, you’ll be welcomed by one of the most expansive and mesmerizing desert scenes that the west has to offer. If you’re a nature lover- bring a small pair of binoculars with you. Wildlife is abundant, and you’re guaranteed to see something interesting if you take a moment to search for it. Cheers, and Safe travels!! (Don’t forget to follow for more travel, dining and cultural immersion suggestions and reviews)✌🏽

We decided to stop at this park on our way to Utah. It's no joke why they call it Valley of Fire because it was hot as hell...😆 Staff was very friendly and helpful. Beautiful scenery and an opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural surroundings. Overall it was a pleasant experience.

A must see in the Vegas area. So beautiful and astonishing. Colorful and awesome. It's a state park, you can't use your annual pass here. It's an extra fee but absolutely worth it. We have been here several times and would always return. It's an about 1 1/2 hours drive from Vegas, we always do it on our way to other parks. If you want to see all and hike, at least plan half a day, but you can also just take the scenic drive in and out.
