Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada

Amid the arid expanse of the Mojave Desert in Nevada, USA lies the natural grandeur of the Valley of Fire State Park. This park, which stretches across 19,000 hectares, is named after the fiery red Aztec Sandstone, an Early Jurassic geological formation made up of ancient sand dunes. The park"s highlight, Fire Wave, is a geological marvel that appears like a frozen wave with its red, pink and white stripes.
