Valley of Fire State Park is a hidden gem nestled between Las Vegas and the epic national parks of Utah and Arizona. With its fiery red sandstone rocks, petroglyphs, slot canyons, and stunning rock formations, this often overlooked Nevada State Park offers a jaw-dropping experience for visitors. There are multiple beautiful hikes and things to see!

If you're flying into Vegas, this is a GREAT stop between Vegas and Zion National Park. This is a dog-friendly park and dogs must be kept on a leash 6 feet or shorter when on the trails.

Annual Trail Closures: For the safety of guests, staff, and local rescue services, many of the park's trails are closed annually during the warmer months (May-September). This last year, the trails were closed May 15 - September 30, 2024.  The Trails include: White Domes Loop, Fire Wave/Seven Wonders Loop/Pastel Canyon/Pink Canyon, Pinnacles Loop, Propect Trail, Arrowhead Trail, Natural Arch Trail (excluding Arch Rock), and Charlie's Spring. These trails have a history of frequent medical calls, search and rescue missions, and fatalities during this time of year. Unfortunately, the demand is more than we are able to safely manage.
