Brightly Red at Sunset or Sunrise
If there is any place in Southern Nevada that the people are most proud of, it is the Valley of Fire State Park. Just as The Strip appears to be at night, this place is spectacular during the day. It is a popular place in the US that most people have seen a dozen times (i.e. in the movies).
The name “Valley of Fire” was derived from red sandstone formations that developed from enormous, transforming sand dunes that occurred about 150 million years ago, during the age of dinosaurs. These features appeared brightly red at sunset or sunrise. In fact, they seemed to be almost “on fires.”
Apart from being the first state park, the Valley of Fire is the largest of all state parks in Nevada. Get a chance to learn about its amazing geology, ecology, and history by driving through the Mojave Desert.
