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.

Landon and Shane were our guides, and I absolutely LOVED those guys. They were funny, nice, knowledgeable, and patient! Everything you could want in guides. The ATV tour was incredible (and I was REALLY sore afterwards – but it was so worth it!) and then the drive through the Valley of Fire was perfect afterwards. After the ATV tour, we had a really nice, and VERY welcome lunch – right when I was starting to get hungry. The shade of the picnic lunch was a welcome break from the sun, but you could still enjoy the outdoors. They’d just finished putting up a Zipline at the location where you do the ATVing for this tour, and they asked if anyone wanted to do it – of course, my family (thrill seekers as we are) leapt at the opportunity. We’re glad we did! They were only charging $15 per person, and it was WAY fun. The van had nice cold Air Conditioning, and there was bottled water inside. It was a wonderful rest after such an adrenaline filled morning. I loved the petroglyphs (there’s a picture of them in the photos) and we even saw a Big Horn Sheep! I have absolutely no complaints. Even for what I was expecting this tour to be (and I expected a lot) this tour was so much more. Don’t miss it when you come to Vegas! Continue Reading »
