Valley of Fire State Park
Valley of Fire is Nevada's oldest state park, filled with bright red sandstone rocks shaped by wind and time. Some rocks look like they are on fire when the sun hits them.
People love the wild rock shapes, like a wave, an elephant, and giant beehives, that make it feel like another planet. Ancient people carved pictures into the rocks here long ago.
Fiery Red Rocks
The bright red stone glows so warmly that the park was named after fire. At sunrise and sunset the whole valley seems to light up.
Ancient Rock Art
Long ago, native people carved pictures called petroglyphs of people and animals into the stone. You can still see them on a short trail today.
Funny Rock Shapes
Wind and water carved rocks into shapes that look like an elephant, a wave, and beehives. Kids love guessing what each rock looks like.
