Valley of Fire State Park is located about forty-five miles northeast of Las Vegas Nevada and makes for a perfect day trip from the city. Valley of Fire State Park is Nevada’s first state park and the largest in the state. Valley of Fire derives its name from the bright red sandstone, which can appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun’s rays. The sandstone at Valley of Fire is from the Jurassic Period, when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
