Valley of Fire State Park is a breathtaking wonderland and perfect for an amazing hike across all levels of fitness! Over 150 million years of fault, uplifting, and erosion has shaped this bold-colored landscape, turning this landscape from sand dunes to the beautiful natural scenery we have today.

The Valley of Fire gets its name from the reddish-pink sandstone formations that define its limits. These spectacular sandstone rock formations formed from great shifting sand dunes during the age of dinosaurs. As the centerpiece of the park’s attractions, these geologic features sometimes seem to be on fire when reflecting the ray of the setting sun. Gaze across natural landscapes as the many shades of light bring out the Rainbow Vista in the park.

The red sandstone formations bring out an adventurous spirit making this hike scale for all levels of fun from Rock climbing & rock scrambling to a Friendly hike. This state park features many amazing views to discover from rock art (ancient petroglyphs) dating back 3,000 years to colorful natural rock formations that will have you pulling out your camera at every stop.

Your first journey is White Dome Loop, a 1.1-mile moderate hike, with a beautiful slot canyon and amazing rock formations. From there we will move on to Mouses Tank Canyon, a 1/2 mile easy hike, with many ancient Native American petroglyphs and more colorful rock formations..

Your third stop is the Visitor’s Center where you may enjoy the many geological and wildlife exhibits, plus a great gift shop! For an extra fee, we will provide lunch. After the Visitor’s Center, you’ll make a few short stops for photos, including Atlatl Rock and Seven Sisters, and then we will head back to your hotel.

We loved this tour!! The scenery was gorgeous, and made even better by the knowledge and history shared by our guide Griffin! We had perfect timing to see the Emerald Cave, which was lucky. Definitely take the plunge into the very chilly Colorado River when given a chance!

Had an awesome time on the 3hr trip to Emerald Cove with Jessica - she was the best guide and would 100% recommend to anyone looking to get off the strip and into nature!

Our guide Griffin was personable, knowledgeable and stayed in constant communication with us from the time we booked right through the entire excursion. Would highly recommend booking the first trip of the day to avoid the crowds and to ensure you will be back before the hottest part of the day.Keep in mind that there is little to no cellphone reception, so be sure you have your transportation arranged ahead of time.

River Dogz delivered!! We had 5 people in our group (ages mid 30’s to mid 60’s),, and we all had a blast. Our guide Michelle was SO GOOD! She was patient, kind, patient, helpful, patient, and a great photographer! Did I mention she was patient? 🤪 Great day. Emerald Cave is small, but BEAUTIFUL and worth the 2 mile paddle. Michelle took great photos and provided them to us quickly after our trip.

Julie was a super fun and enthusiastic guide. She had a great understanding of history and geology of the area. I would highly recommend her as a guide.
