At the end of the short trail you have a nice few over the red sandstone canyon.
The green bushes and a blue sky creates high contrast. The sandstone along the way, the sand you walk on, everything is red and orange. On this trail you get to now why it is called the valley of FIRE. This was my favorite trail, so don’t miss it! The colorful landscape against the blue sky makes a wonderful picture. We were lucky to see two of them that day ! The Hike itself is short but leads you along colorful stone formations and through a short slot canyon. When you are lucky you can also meet some desert tortoises on your way as they are active at night and therefore are mostly seen in the morning or evening. When you come here in summer I would recommend starting your day early as it is cooler in the morning. Come here in the evening for sunset for the best light! You also have good views of nice sandstone formations and wonderful desert landscape along the way. But Valley of Fire has its own Wave! Just a bit smaller than the famous one, but it is still really awesome! A short trail from the parking lot at Mouse Tank’s Road leads to the Fire Wave. And as some may also now it isn’t that easy to get a permit for being allowed to hike to “The Wave”. Most of you will know “The Wave” rock formation in Vermilion Cliffs National Park. The landscape looks as if an artist has gone wild, the colors cover pink over purple, red, orange, and yellow and in some parts even turquoise! Adding to that there are two campgrounds which are quite nice! Now let’s see where to go in Valley of Fire to take the best pictures. It’s just a one hour drive from Las Vegas, so you can go there as a day trip if you are in Las Vegas. This was by far our most favorite park on the trip.
