Review:
Located just under an hour northeast of the Las Vegas Strip, the Valley of Fire State Park is the ideal destination for a mini-day trip. Established in 1935, it is Nevada’s oldest state park, spanning an area of 35,000 acres. It received its name from the incredibly beautiful red sandstone formations that were created due to massive shifting sand dunes during the dinosaur era over 150 million years ago. These ancient and magnificent sandstone formations appear to be on fire when the rays from the sun hit them, creating a truly breathtaking sight. This is an excellent park for hiking, nature viewing, and photography tours.
