What To Expect

Depending upon which option you choose, this Valley of Fire hiking tour either leaves Las Vegas at sunrise, or later in the day in the late morning or early afternoon. Once you meet with the rest of your group, which won't exceed 13 people, you'll leave the lights of Vegas behind and begin to commune with nature, as your travel 55 miles (89km) out into the wide open desert. Along the drive, you'll pass the Las Vegas Motor Speedway as well as Nellis Air Force Base, and if you're so inclined, you can also make a stop at the Moapa Indian Reservation to pick up some fireworks, liquor or cigarettes that are completely duty free. Not far from the entrance of the park, you'll be able to see the shimmering waters of Lake Mead out in the distance, which is America's largest man-made lake and a marvel of modern engineering.When you enter the Valley of Fire State Park, your guide will explain the area's history as well as its fascinating geology, and lead you to the trail head of whichever hike you've chosen from the options below. Over the course of the trek through the park, learn about the erosion and seismic fault lines that have created the rugged terrain, all while surrounded by a surreal landscape of enormous, deeply red rocks. For thousands of years, Native American-Indian tribes have lived and survived in this landscape, and your guide will offer some fascinating insight to their legends, history, and myths, as well as point out some ancient petroglyphs that have been here for 3,000 years. Water and snacks are provided for the hike, and once you've conquered the dusty trail and soaked up the epic beauty, you'll have the chance to explore the Valley of Fire official visitors center, where informative placards provide even more educational background on the park. On the hour-long car ride back to Las Vegas, rest your legs and watch the scene slowly change outside the window, as the windswept desert slowly gives to the glitz, glamor and lights. Easy Hike:This option is the perfect choice for families and travelers of all ages and fitness levels who can complete a 2-hour hike. On this easy stroll, it's still possible to see a number of ancient petroglyphs. Moderate Hike:Even though this hike is at a leisurely pace, it still requires a decent degree of fitness for scrambling across boulders, plateaus, and peaks amidst the reddish brown rocks.Difficult Hike:This strenuous option is for avid outdoorsmen in search of the park's best views, and is much more difficult than the easier two hikes - given the level of terrain.
