The Valley of Fire State Park is situated just 35 miles north east of Las Vegas near the village of Overton, NV. You can reach it by driving north on interstate 15 for approximately 30 miles, then turning east on Route 169 at the Moapa Indian Reservation. It is less than an hour drive from the Las Vegas strip.
The park is commonly being used for Hollywood films for its fiery appearance including numerous walking trails along the roads including some handicapped accessible trails.
The Valley of Fire State Park is open daily from dawn to dusk. It costs only a modest three dollars per vehicle entry fee collected on the honor system. The visitor center is open from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. This is one of the greatest bargains in the Las Vegas area. I suggest you take a half-day break from the slot machines to pay a visit to this fascinating geological attraction.
