Valley of Fire State Park is a short drive from Las Vegas. If you're not familiar with touring desert terrain, Las Vegas is the perfect destination for a "Desert 101" trip. The reason is that you can enjoy breathtaking natural beauty by day, and return to the lights of Las Vegas for your evening entertainment. I hold the National Parks... more

We recently took a trip from Las Vegas to the Valley of Fire on a rented Harley. It took about 45 mins to get there,and it was well worth it! The drive is great, definitely gives you a sense of the desert, but it's not too far. We were short on time or we could have spent the day there.... more

Well "out of town", but well worth the drive. We went last weekend, and enjoyed every moment. Be sure to drive up to the Lost City Museum in Overton, it's worth the visit as well. more

Valley of fire is only about an hour northeast of Las Vegas. If you get tired of all the people this is an amazing place. It is all redrock sandstone and rainbow colors you can't even imagine. It is a state park with a very nice visitor center. If you want to experience the desert, this is the place. more

We took a quick day trip to Valley of Fire on out last trip and it was wonderful. The hiking is more accessible than Red Rock (also great if you have time for two places). We drove up along Lake Mead and back on the interstate--great scenery on the way up; quite unscenic on the way back. We hiked to... more

This review is way overdue. Although I live in LV it has been many years since we went to VOF before last spring. The weather was great except a little windy. We brought a picnic lunch, comfortable shoes and water. We stopped at as many places in the park as we could and really had a great day. See my... more

This is an hour outside of Vegas. We left Paris about 8 and stopped at the Moapa travel center for breakfast. This was a truck stop, but the breakfast was delicious. Typical southern breakfast. 2 eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and toast. VOF is about 15 off interstate, past this. You basically drive your car to the various lookout points. At each... more

The Valley of Fire was really incredible. It was by far the best part of my trip to Vegas. I would highly recommend going there. Great photo opportunities! Make sure to take lots of water with you though! :) more
