Valley of Fire State Park, State park in Clark County, Nevada
The park spans across 42,000 acres of land with red sandstone formations, shaped by fossilized sand dunes from the dinosaur period.
Established in 1935 as Nevada's first state park, the area contains evidence of human presence dating back 3,000 years through petroglyphs.
Atlatl Rock displays Native American petroglyphs accessible by metal stairs, showing ancient communication methods from the Anasazi civilization.
Located 88 kilometers northeast of Las Vegas, the park charges 15 dollars per vehicle and remains open from sunrise to sunset daily.
The Mouse Tank Trail leads to a natural basin where water collects year-round, surrounded by rock art and ancient petroglyphs.
