Valley of Fire State Park

Close to Las Vegas and Lake Mead sits a state park with red sandstone formations that rival Sedona AZ. Formed from shifting sand dunes during the age of the dinosaurs, the areas uplifted and faulting action, followed by extensive erosion created the landscape we enjoyed today. The colors are a stark contrast to the nearby mudstone mountains and desert and the close proximity to Vegas make this a heavenly visited place, except at this time of year.
