*Rocks are in every possible shape: wavy, elephant-shaped, sharp, smooth, round, and all the colors that will warm your heart - red, orange, yellow, brown, pink, purple, even a bit of blue! - One second, you can walk on red sand, the next, you’re on rocks, it’s pretty insane!

*Valley of Fire is a State Park, not a National Park, so if you are an America the Beautiful Annual Pass holder, it won’t work there.

*I recommend going to Valley of Fire for a morning or an afternoon, especially if you plan on visiting Zion National Park, in Utah. And if you’re on your way to Zion National Park from Las Vegas, enter Valley of Fire State park from the West entrance and leave it from the East Entrance! My favorite trails are Fire Wave and Rainbow Vista.

*The best time to visit is spring and fall because it gets burning hot in summer, and very windy in winter, but the park is open every day of the year.

*Note that there is NO service in the park and if you need internet you will need to purchase wifi.
