For years when driving the 15 from Los Angeles to Salt Lake we've driven right past the sign that pointed towards Valley of Fire. We were always speeding towards some destination and didn't want to take time to divert from the highway. Yesterday, we took that time and drove off to the Valley of Fire. The approach to the park...

Get out of Vegas for a day. Rent a car or m/c and do it. You will remember it for a very long time. Spectacular. Take your camera, even if you are not good with one. Good by yourself, better if you can share it.

Wow! Roads and landscape were amazing! So much fun to drive! Go there early because it quickly becomes very hot. Less than an hour drive from Las Vegas. No food in the park. Bring your picnic and water! We spent 3-4 hours there (drove the roads and did the mouse tank trail) Don't go to holes in the ground restroom.... More

We took the route to the Hoover Dam through the valley of fire. I had no idea what to expect but once we entered the park the views were stunning. Very beautiful place. We just drove through but it would have been nice to get out and do some of the hikes.

The Valley of Fire State Park was easily accessible. It had many interesting rock formations, trails and hieroglyphics. Many other sights can be seen as you experience the park.

We were travelling by RV and stayed in Atlatl Rock campground 30.00 /night with water and power hookup. Dry camping will cost you 20.00 and park entrance 10.00. Washrooms with handicap access were very clean and showers a mere .25. They have paved sites for wheel chair bound and handicap. You can easily drive into the park for hiking to... More

We were in Las Vegas and decided to take a short 55 minute drive to the Valley of Fire. This place is absolutely amazing. The red rocks, and the many formations are so beautiful that is hard to explain. Every turn in the road brings you something new. In some spots you can see for miles and as you drive... More

My friend and I rented a car from the hotel and headed out to the dessert. It was only about 30-45 mins out of Vegas. It is $10 per car to get in and the visitor booth gave us a map that sent us through the park. The colors were gorgeous! You can get out and walk around, some people... More

The scenery at this park is almost breathtaking it is so beautiful. The welcome center was great and was so full of information about the things you see in the park. I also found that the gift shop at the welcome center was very reasonable on their prices.
