What to expect

  1. Valley of Fire State Park
    1h 30m · Admission ticket included
    Venture to Nevada’s first and largest state park by visiting the Valley of Fire. This tour package is bursting with unique rock formations and ancient petroglyphs within the Mojave Desert.
  2. 15m
    Once at the park, there is no time to lose. To the north is Rainbow Vista. This lookout boasts amazing views of the White Dome and Duck Rock. Rainbow Vista showcases its own admirable canyons, domes, towers, ridges, and valleys carved from sand deposited over 150 million years ago. This landmark is a true contrast to the red sandstone landscape found at Valley of Fire. The surface of Rainbow Vista shows off a range of yellows, gold, and reds mixed as if stirred together.
  3. Atlatl Rock
    20m · Admission ticket included
    Atlatl Rock stands to the west of Valley of Fire State Park. This sandstone rock was named after a throwing stick or dart thrower used by ancient tribes that gave more force behind their launched darts and spears. Atlatl is famous for its outstanding petroglyphs. What do these images mean? This artwork has yet to be deciphered by anthologists and archaeologists.
  4. The Beehives
    15m · Admission ticket included
    The Beehives are sandstone formations that not only demonstrate the unique design that can be created by nature, but are also an excellent representation of geologic cross bedding. Those are the grooved lines going in different directions. The layers or beds represent different layers of silt that are deposited at different times.
  5. 10m · Admission ticket included
    Balancing Rock is one of those weird rock formations in Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada, that appear to defy the laws of gravity and physics.
  6. 30m · Admission ticket included
    Before heading back to the glitter of Vegas, your tour makes a final stop at the Visitor Center. Discover several fascinating exhibits on the geology, ecology and history of Valley of Fire. Pop into the gift shop for postcards, books and film souvenirs that will last as timeless reminders of your adventure at Valley of Fire.
