Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada, USA

Amid the arid expanse of the Mojave Desert in Nevada, US, lies the natural grandeur of the Valley of Fire State Park. This park, which stretches across 186 square kilometres, 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.
