The Valley of Fire is Nevada’s oldest state park. Covering over 34,880 acres with red-rock sandstone formations, jutting out cliffs, canyons, and valleys, it is the ultimate hiking destination.

Highlights of the Valley of Fire include Atlatl Rock and Fir Canyon. At Atlatl Rock, examine ancient petroglyphs, dating back thousands of years and created by the Moapa tribe. Then, take a 3-mile (4.8 km) hike through Fir Canyon, starting at Rainbow Vista, where you’ll see the lighting against the sandstone and understand why the park got its name, Valley of Fire.

Picnicking, hiking, and camping are all popular activities in the Valley of Fire. Not only is the landscape impressive and attract visitors world-wide, but the Valley of Fire houses some of the rarest vegetation and wildlife in the country.

Awesome day! The staff were fantastic, and we had a wonderful ride through the gorgeous Valley of Fire. The scenery was stunning! Plenty of stops to change drivers, stretch your legs, take photos and cool down with some water. Freestyling over the dunes was a blast!

This was one of the best tours I have ever taken. I had been wanting to visit the Valley of Fire for sometime now and this was definitely the way to see it! Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable not only about the buggies but the park as well. He brought us to the best view points possible and to the sand dunes so we could ride around on our own. Don't forget to wear sunscreen and keep hydrated!
