Valley of Fire State Park

The Valley Of Fire State Park was dedicated in 1935. The Valley of Fire is Nevada's oldest state park. Its colorful name refers to the spectacular red sandstone formations that are exposed in great abundance here. The multi-shaded red and golden yellow sandstone cliffs and rocks in the Valley of Fire are part of the Navajo Sandstone Formation that is found throughout Southern Nevada and in this part of the Southwest.

This 46,000 acre park state park is located 50 to 55 miles northeast of Las Vegas (depending on the route taken), and just east of the Overton Arm of Lake Mead NRA. The Valley of Fire is a place of rare and sublime beauty which people have been attracted to for thousands of years. This is evidenced by the large number of Petroglyphs found in several places throughout this park. For more info ... Valley of Fire
