Valley of Fire State Park is a short distance above Lake Mead and it is such a beautiful small park. We spent a day there and thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. We found a great piece of BLM land just outside the park, where we camped on a long mesa with amazing views.
The park is full of color – swirls of color in some of the rocks – but mostly there is a very bright orange/red hue all around.
Some of the rocks even have names: Elephant Rock
We found several petroglyph sites, the beavertail cactus were in full bloom and we found interesting places to sit.
