The scenic drive to this area was beautiful on a rainy day. The lava formations are something everyone should see if you travel this location. The staff was very helpful and friendly and as volunteers they were well educated about the history of the area.

This is such a unique place to visit. Great for all ages. Great pictures! We saw several lizards, a snake and a horney toad (horned lizard!). The walk is pretty short and (mostly) easy, but take some water because it gets hot out there!

We went out and explored the trail among the Valley of Fire lava beds. This area is amazing and the trail is well marked with historical facts of how and why this area came about. This is one of those sites to see when traveling through New Mexico!

This most unusual volcanic flow is now a beautiful natural garden attracting birds and butterflies. The trails are very safe with rails and accessible. Beautiful and not crowds in winter.

Rented a car from the strip. It's and easy 1 hour drive and worth getting out and exploring the different trails. It's a $10 per car fee to enter the state park. Each trail ranges from 3/4 mile to 1.25 mile so easy hiking. We spent the better part of the day hiking, a nice change from the crowds of Vegas.

We always love stopping at Valley of Fires. The views never cease to amaze. Lava flows are not so unusual in these parts, but they aren't all as accessible and quite so beautiful as at this recreation area. No wonder they've set it aside for all to enjoy. Wear good, sturdy shoes. A sun hat and sun glasses are a must. This is true New Mexico!

This is something to see, old volcano...stretches for miles Did want to stop but you can see so much from the road.

I've always been intrigued by this place. Take the time to walk the trail down onto the "Malpais" - the volcanic rock formations, even if you can't go the whole distance. There is a decent camp ground with lots of bath facilities too, though we didn't stay here. The lava came up through vents in the earth over a period of 30 or so years and if covers an area 45 miles long and 2 to 5 miles wide. Very educational.

The nesting hills between Capitan & Carrizozo on 380 traveling west to east haven't been mentioned. They are also spectacular in their own way. Crossed over the hills you enter a wide flat valley with igneous features on all sides. The lava is higher than our car, an average 45 feet.Life has taken over the field including one pest. When we got out of the car at the overlook swarms of sticky little flying bugs decided to cling to our faces. Cut short our willingness to look at scenery.Was wishing that the bats were out to take care of them. Did not see a bird to do the job.Got several good pictures I will upload. None of them are retouched, nor needed to be. The light of NM is reason enough to come here.

This is a worthwhile stop. The lava field is fascinating to see. It is an easy loop paved walk around that takes about an hour. You are allowed to go off the path and step on the lava rock.Be mindful that during the summer months, it can be hot during the day. Need sunscreen and water. Or go early to avoid the heat.
