This self-guided Valley of Fire driving tour takes you through Nevada’s oldest and most visually stunning state park, where blazing red sandstone formations rise dramatically from the Mojave Desert.

• Valley of Fire State Park Entrance
  Enter a landscape shaped over 150 million years as ancient sand dunes hardened into vibrant red and white sandstone formations.

• Beehives Rock Formations
  These rounded sandstone mounds look like giant desert beehives, sculpted by wind and water over millions of years.

• Atlatl Rock Petroglyphs
  Climb a staircase to see thousands-year-old carvings created by ancient desert cultures, including the distinctive spear-throwing weapon known as an atlatl.

• Mouse’s Tank Trail
  Walk through Petroglyph Canyon, where hundreds of ancient rock carvings line the canyon walls. The trail ends at a natural water basin where a Paiute outlaw named Little Mouse once hid from the law.

• Rainbow Vista
  One of the park’s most colorful viewpoints where swirling layers of red, white, and orange sandstone stretch across the desert.

• The Fire Wave
  One of the most photographed formations in Nevada, where bands of red and white rock twist like a frozen ocean wave.

• White Domes Loop Trail
  A stunning slot canyon hike that also hides the remains of a real Hollywood movie set built in 1966.

• Fire Canyon & Silica Dome
  A surreal white sandstone formation used as an alien planet in Star Trek Generations.

• Seven Sisters Rock Formation
  Seven tall sandstone towers rising in a near-perfect line from the desert floor.

This scenic Valley of Fire tour combines epic desert scenery with fascinating stories from the park’s past.
