The Valley of Fire State Park is a major tourist attraction in Nevada. Situated close to Lake Mead and about an hour from Las Vegas, the Valley of Fire is famous for the amazing sandstone formations that cover a valley floor. As the name suggests, these are mostly red in colour, standing out in stark contrast to the darker rocks of the valley. The Valley of Fire also contains historically important petroglyphs and several sites of petrified logs.

There are 2 entrances to the Valley of Fire state park, one from the east near to Lake Mead, and the other, more popular Western Entrance. At the western entrance visitors are given a map highlighting the main attracions and points of interest. Further information about the park, camping permits and details on the hiking trails is found in the Valley of Fire State Park Visitor Center, shown in this pictre which lies roughly midway between the two entrances in a ridge of red sandstone.
