Review:
Valley of Fire State Park is a picturesque 46,000-acre nature preservation area located just 15 minutes outside the city of Overton, Nevada, designated as a National Natural Landmark since 1968. The park is Nevada's oldest state park, located less than an hour outside Las Vegas adjacent to beautiful Lake Mead National Recreation Area. It takes its name from its stunning Aztec Sandstone red sandstone natural formations, which form the centerpiece of the park's natural wonders and famously appear to be on fire at sunset. Petroglyphs carved by Ancestral Puebloans date back as far as 300 B.C., located at several sites that can be accessed via hiking trails. Gorgeous Civilian Conservation Corps-constructed park facilities include campground and day-use picnic sites.
