  This is a little bit of a drive through boring arid country-side (just under an hour in a car rental), but then an incredible park opens up with incredible colourful + interesting topography.- Our car fee to enter the park was $10.- There is a visitor center with some educational displays and explanations, along with a small store of souvenirs + drinks/snacks (and free drinkable water assuming you have an empty container). Also has restrooms --> get a map of the park (free) if you do not have one already. - The various sights are spread out inside the park and are too far in-between to walk/hike. - There are some hiking trails (20-45 minutes in length) which are a little demanding of reasonably appropriate shoes and health.- To see most of the park, and do some of the hikes, including a pic-nic lunch (which we brought) takes a 2.5-3.5 hours

  Everything about this park is worth a day trip. The rock formations and hiking trails, driving the new roads to the long range vistas of the mountains in the distance. My favorite site on their map is the sitting elephant. Really he's worth the hike even in the heat. Everything was though really. Truly an excellent state park and a great move by Nevada to make it its first!

  What a great place! We rented a car and spent a few hours driving and hiking through the canyons. Very scenic and we went to the gift shop and purchased plenty of souvenirs.

  Out for a Sunday drive and all of a suddent we discovered the Valley of Fire State Park. Only about an hour drive NE of Las Vegas and it was well worth the trip. The colors of the rocks are as vibrant as the Red Rock Canyon. Great views in every direction. Locals get a slight discount on the ticket price. They have picnic areas available. Check it out........it is great.........

  Rented a car, picked up lunch and had a wonderful afternoon at Valley of Fire State park. Easy drive from Vegas, friendly park staff. Clean restrooms at nearly all of the scenic points as well as picnic facilities. Admission to park was $10 per car, and well worth it to enjoy the beauty of the area. Nice visitor center. Wonderful break from the craziness of Vegas.

  If you like the desert, this is a great area to visit just about a two hour easy drive from the Las Vegas, Henderson, Nv. area. Be sure to pack a picnic lunch and plenty of water and sun screen. The vistas are "unworldly". The red\ orange rock formations like nothing you've ever seen before. Several car ads have been filmed here. Not a whole lot of facilities other than a visitors center here but there are many places to pull out for pictures and to relax and soak up the beauty. Shade is a bit hard to find so not a good place to visit from July, August and September. Way to hot 100 to 115 degrees. Well worth the trip for a good day outing from the busy Las Vegas area. Enjoy!

  From Las Vegas the drive to get to the park is one hour but well worth the drive. It is $10.00 per car to get into the park and you can spend all day there hiking and driving to the different areas. There are the most beautiful sandstone formations I feel you you ever see in your travels.

  It only takes approximately one hour to get to Valley of Fire from the strip and the directions are very easy. There are many photography opportunities from your car and with short hikes. We did two hiking trails. The first was White Domes. I would recommend this one if you only have time for one. It was 1.75 miles round trip and pretty easy. There was loose sand so wear higher shoes. The trail was marked very clearly. There were many photos taken! The second was rainbow vista. It was approximately 1.75 miles round trip as well. We did not really see anything too stunning as far as "rainbow rocks" go but at the end of the train there was a great lookout over the valley. This was also a pretty easy hike with some spots sandy. Both trails only took 30-45 minutes each to complete including stopping for pictures.
