Valley of Fire Small Group Tour from Las Vegas

Trade the Vegas crowds for the fiery red rock scenery of Valley of Fire, Nevada's oldest and most spectacular state park, on this relaxed small-group day trip. With only a handful of guests, you get a personal experience and plenty of time to explore and photograph the park's most famous sights. Your friendly local driver-guide brings the landscape to life with stories about the geology, the ancient petroglyphs, and the Ancestral Puebloans who once lived here — while you take in highlights like the Fire Wave, Elephant Rock, Rainbow Vista, and Atlatl Rock. Convenient hotel pickup and drop-off, bottled water, and a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle are all included.

   Fire Wave

   45 min

3. 3

   Rainbow Vista

   20 min

   Take in the sweeping panorama at Rainbow Vista, a viewpoint surrounded by multicolored sandstone hills in shades of pink, lavender, cream, and red. It’s a favorite scenic overlook and a fantastic spot for photos of the park’s vivid geology.

   20 min

   Visit Atlatl Rock to see remarkably preserved ancient petroglyphs carved into the desert varnish by the Ancestral Puebloan people over 2,000 years ago. A short stairway leads up to the panel, where your guide explains the meaning behind these fascinating rock art symbols.
