Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada
Valley of Fire is Nevada's oldest and largest state park. From I-15,
take Exit 75 onto Nevada 40 between Mesquite and Las Vegas.. It is
about 11 miles to the Park entrance. The Park consists of a large area of
eroded sandstone formations. There are many trails and campsites to
attract the visitor as well as the interesting formations. Native Americans
who lived in the area left many writings (petroglyphs) on some of the
formations. Not especially noted for its natural arches, many have been
discovered and documented in recent years. The author is indebted to Mr. Rob Jones,
Mr. Ray Millar and Mr. Robert O'Connell for the photos.
