Overview: Overview Entry and Exit
Nevada's Valley of Fire State Park is known for its unique deep red sandstone. Although there are many famous natural wonders nearby, such as the Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon, this hidden gem is often overlooked. During our five-day trip to Las Vegas, we made a special trip to the Valley of Fire, which is only a 40-minute drive from Las Vegas.
🚗 Transportation: Self-driving is the best option. Taxis or Uber are not recommended.
🎟️ Tickets: Purchase at the park entrance.
