The Valley of Fire was dedicated as a state park in 1935 and is Nevada's oldest state park. The name refers to the spectacular fiery red sandstone formations that are found in special abundance there, along with some amazing desert plant and wildlife. A large number of Petroglyphs have also been found in several places throughout this park. The surroundings are loaded with vibrant color, fantastic rock formations, and world-class petroglyphs!
