Valley of Fire State Park is Nevada's oldest and largest state park. It opened in 1935 and has been a very popular site ever since. The park's most popular activities include camping, hiking, picnicking and exploring. The park is named for the red sandstone formations that mark the park. It has a fairly pleasant climate year-round.
From Las Vegas, drive 55 miles to park entrance off I-10 and Hwy. 169.
