We went for a day trip and we are so glad we did, the drive up is amazing, so beautiful and the road is something i can only describe as "in a movie" You cannot appriciate mother nature until you visit the valley of fire. A truly amazing place!

Fire Wave

Reviewed By lorig689 - Lumberton, United States

I loved this trail. The colors in the rocks are amazing. It gets hot so wear a hat and bring water. It's a $10 entry to get into the park and you need exact change during the COVID stuff.

White Domes Trail

A moderate-level hiking trail in Nevada's Valley of Fire.

Reviewed By smenzel - Seattle, United States

This was one of the two hikes I did while visiting the Valley of Fire State Park. Nearby Fire Wave was the other. The hike is a little more than a walk in the park but I wouldn't consider this to be at all strenuous. The walk down the sandy path at the beginning is probably the toughest part. Then there's the awesome slotted canyon. Oh, and all of the incredible rock formations. My favorite was the one that looked like a beached fish. Or was it a submarine? :) The temperature was in the mid-80s during my October visit. Be prepared for scorching heat during the summer months. Regardless of when you visit, wear a hat and sensible walking shoes. Bring water and apply sunblock. If you plan on photographing the rock formations, you might consider a wide(r) angle lens. They're massive and you're often too close to capture them in their entirety.

This place is gorgeous. The way the wind has formed these formations is incredible. You can actually stand inside many of these domes. The trails have such beautiful scenery. If you take a trip here, you won’t be disappointed.
