Directions

The Fire Wave is an iconic rock formation in Valley of Fire State Park, about an hour from Las Vegas. It's known for its swirling red, pink, and white sandstone layers in the shape of a wave from certain angles. Reaching it requires paying the state park entrance fee and hiking a short, mostly easy trail. It’s best to visit in the morning or late afternoon when the colors are most vibrant and always stay on the trail to help protect the fragile desert landscape! You can book a tour that provides transportation to and from Las Vegas to Valley of Fire and takes you to the wave and several other popular spots at the 'see deals' button.
