Valley Of Fire

Barbara Pickitts

This place is an amazing stop on the way out or to Vegas! It is a hidden gem off about 40 min off of the highway. Valley of fire has amazing scenery. We saw a lot of bighorn sheep, which was a great sight! It is easy to drive through and see most of the park. We went when it was around 110 but just stayed in the car. Do not let the heat stop you from coming! The petroglyphs were also very cool just a short walk up some stairs. Would come back.

This is my first time visiting Las Vegas and Nevada and I decided to go to the Valley of Fire State Park. The experience here was absolutely incredible. Living in Massachusetts, I had never seen rock formations like this. It felt like I was on another planet. The park itself is also very driveable with lots of scenic stops along the road. By no means do you have to take long hikes in hot weather to fully experience this beautiful and stunning park.

I've wanted to visit Valley of Fire for a long time, and it did not disappoint! Roughly an hour east of Vegas, it's worth the drive. It is absolutely gorgeous, and a must-go when you're in southern Nevada. Trails vary from Easy to Moderate to Hard. After mid-April, it gets really hot, so however much water you think you need, double it, because the only refill stations are at the visitor center.

This state park is a must-see location for tourist and locals alike. The stunning and spectacular views are like no other places around and the number of places to see and hike require more than one day or trip. The park has both an east and west entrance gate, which does require a fee, but you can purchase an annual pass that allows you free entry to ALL Nevada State Parks. The park has a visitor’s center, several different campgrounds with hard pads, covered picnic stations with barbecue stations, and restrooms facilities to include showers. Throughout the park you will find plenty of covered picnic pavilions some with and without barbecue stations. There are plenty of different levels of hiking trails and rock formations to see so it is best to review the park’s website for more information. Bottom line, this is definitely worth a visit with the best times being from October to April, to avoid the heat and the crowds.

I love this park! We try to visit every time we return to Vegas. Definitely not a hike for beginners, but so much fun if you enjoy hiking recreationally. You’ll see a lot of petroglyphs which can be really cool if you’re a history person. The wildlife and plants you see are unique, and the scenes make you feel like you’ve on mars. Speaking of space, fun fact - an episode of Star Trek was filmed here. Be sure to bring plenty of water and sunscreen, even in the cooler months!
