The amazing Valley of Fire State Park covers over 45,000 acres, just south of Overton. Here it provides a vast outdoor recreational area, against the backdrop of some remarkable red sandstone rock formations. The park was named for these stunning rock formations which are at their most beautiful when bathed in sunlight. This is an ideal destination for getting back to nature with your family – you can visit for a day and enjoy hiking, biking and a picnic or check into the campground and spend a night under the wide Nevada star-scape. If you are a petrogylphs fan you should head to the Mouse’s Tank and Atlati Rock areas to see some of the best examples in the park.
