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.

Visitors can admire colorful rock formations on several hiking trails or on a 13-mile scenic drive.
Spent half a day in this park in January when we wanted to get out of Vegas and do some hiking and exploring. The park fee for a vehicle day pass is $15 and well worth the time spent here. It was just over 60 degrees so plenty comfortable for us northerners and we wore shorts with a long sleeve top, had on sunscreen and carried water on our hikes. There is a 13 mile one way scenic loop which you can drive through and see plenty just stopping at the overlooks. There are also many hiking trails ranging from easy to moderate to difficult with a variety of elevation rises and lengths that you can choose from to see petroglyphs, hidden falls, scenic views and nature’s beauty more close up. The guide which you can access online or pick up in paper form has a map and very good descriptions of all scenic views, overlooks and hiking trails. Be aware that if you plan to rely on your phone, service is not reliable throughout the park. I recommend arriving early to beat the crowds especially on weekends or when the weather is more inviting. There is a visitor and information building with bathrooms and some information on the park and animals and land but stop on your way in because with a one-way route you won’t have another opportunity. We spent about 4 hours in the park and hit a few of the highlights, stopped at the scenic overlooks and hiked 4 different trails. Check park hours as well because they vary with the seasons. We will be back to explore the area more but the time we spent gave us time to explore the park and hit the highlights.

Rock formation with natural basin of water in Valley of Fire State Park.
Nice easy trail up to the tank where you can see numerous petroglyphs and drawings on the canyon walls.

A recently upgraded boardwalk that's wheelchair accessible takes you around the basin with beautiful views of multi-colored rock formations and excellent signage explaining the history, geology, and animal life. There are also more demanding trails, as well as bouldering for the more adventurous. Clean bathrooms and shaded picnic tables off parking lot. Well-marked right turn off Red Rock Canyon Road, about a mile before you get to the Visitor Center. No fee. Worth a visit.

Located along U.S. 50 (Lincoln Highway), this is sacred ground for the Washoe Indians.
The view from the top was beautiful, easily accessible as well. Since I went on a Sunday at sunset, the parking lot with 5 spaces was empty. I can see problems if more people come and there is no parking. It is an easy climb but do do it when people are around because if you fall and you are alone, no one will be able to know or help you. And it is easy to miss your footing climbing up.

Cannot be described, there is an oasis half way from Riverside on Gold Butte road with the largest palm trees I've ever seen. There is a dam built by the Conservation corp back in the 1092's. fun place to hike and take pictures. If you are adventitious Devils Throat is just 10 away.

So close but so far from the bright lights of Las Vegas. We have ridden our bikes around the loop several times and really enjoyed the scenery of colors. Road is in great condition for road bikes. The "one way" direction makes for better safety. The visitor center is a good stop for info about the park
