"Valley of Fire State Park is one of our favorite destinations in the southwest! If you only have time for one outdoorsy activity near Las Vegas, make it this one. And if you have to choose just one hike, go with the Fire Wave, White Domes, and Seven Wonders Loop. If nothing else, don't miss the FIRE WAVE! Info: $15 for non-NV vehicles, $10 for NV Vehicles. TIP: Pick a rental car with NV plates to benefit from the discounted price!

"Valley of Fire is a beautiful state park about an hour from the Las Vegas Strip. With bright red Aztec sandstone, this park is quite the sight to see! VoF is open from sunrise to sunset, with 24 hour access to campgrounds. Entry is $10 per vehicle ($15 per non-NV licensed vehicle). Hikes: • Fire Wave Trail: Not to be confused with the infamous permit hike in Arizona known as "The Wave," Fire Wave is in Nevada and is an easy, well marked trail. At 1.5 miles long with only 236 ft. of elevation gain, this out-and-back trail is perfect for all ages. Here, you're hiking to an amazing sandstone formation in the it resembles an ocean wave with swirling patterns of red, white, and pink sandstone. Hiking here is primarily recommended to do in winter months, but be sure to take extra water in any season. Dogs welcome, but must be leashed. • White Domes: This is a 1.1 mile easy loop very close to Fire Wave! This is another great popular hike in the park. Dogs welcome, but must be leashed. "
