Tips from the community
Thanks to ever-changing sand dunes from 150 million years ago, we now have the Valley of Fire: a swirly landscape of orangey-red Aztec sandstone formations just 150 miles from Grand Canyon National Park. If soft-serve ice cream could become petrified, this is most definitely what it would look like. It’s also a super short drive south from Las Vegas, so you can try your luck on a slot machine and drown your woes in natural beauty when you inevitably lose a bunch of cash!

Just 55 miles south of Las Vegas and 150 miles from the Grand Canyon lies Valley of Fire State Park: A 46,000-acre wonderland known for its stunning red sandstone formations. These cartoon-like rocks illuminate the valley, especially at sunset, making it look as though it’s on fire. We liken it to a trippy Dr. Seuss book.

There is a fee to enter the park. There are so many places to see here! Look for the cabins that travelers used to stay at on their way through the area.
