Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada

Amid the arid expanse of the Mojave Desert in Nevada lies Valley of Fire State Park. Named after its red Aztec Sandstone, an Early Jurassic formation made from ancient sand dunes, the park stretches across 46,000 acres. Featured on our homepage is one of its highlights, Fire Wave, a geological marvel that appears like a frozen wave with its red, pink, and white stripes.
