Robert writes, "This beautiful Park is about a 45 mile drive from Las Vegas, and about an hour away from the Hoover Dam; both places are well worth visiting if you're in the Vegas area. In my opinion the Valley of Fire State Park is worthy of National Park status...a true gem in Nevada. Careful consideration should be taken of the weather status and what time of year to visit. During a Summer visitation you're likely limited to staying inside your air-conditioned vehicle, due to the extreme high (and dangerous) heat.
For our mid-May visit we were fortunate enough to catch a temperature high of about 80 degrees...perfect for hiking. The left side of the photo you can catch part of the road that runs through the Park." Comments | Permalink
