State Parks and Recreation Areas
Valley of Fire State Park
-- Dedicated in 1935, Valley of Fire is Nevada's oldest State Park. It is
located only 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas. The rough floor and jagged walls
of the park contain brilliant formations of eroded sandstone and sand dunes more
than 150 million years old. These features, which are the centerpiece of the
park's attractions, often appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun's rays.
