As its name implies, Valley of Fire State Park encompasses 40,000 acres of bright red Aztec sandstone formations.
Other points of interest in the park include petrified trees and petroglyphs that date back more than 2,000 years; the visitor center offers a number of excellent exhibits on the history of these features.
The visitor center is also happy to provide information about the many excellent day hikes and rock climbing spots in the area.
There are three campgrounds in the park for visitors who would like to spend the night, and there are also several shaded picnic areas available for day use.
