This park is about one hundred miles one way north of the strip. I strongly recommend a visit, provided you have the time. Everything inside the park is red, all the rocks, the dirt, everything. It is the reason it was named the Valley of Fire. It is the oldest Nevada state park. It has a rock formation resembling an elephant. It boasts a real nice visitors center. It has camping and hiking available in abundance.The remains of a small building erected by the WPA( Works Progress Administration) are still around. And plenty of Indian symbols scratched into the rocks. I love that place, and I hope you do too. Let us know http://www.travelnevada.com , http://www.lasvegasvisitor.com

We want to help local artists. This expensive space is a donation. We have three books by a local author. They are: Nevada a Strange State, Silveropolis and The Great Lake Mead Water Caper. All proceeds will go to the author. They can be purchased on Amazon.
