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.

Such an fabulous trip! Michelle was an amazing tour guide! I had never kayaked before but her instruction and tips made it so easy. She's so personable and funny, sharing lots of interesting insights into the region's history, topography and wildlife. We saw some local desert big horn sheep on the hillside. Very cool watching them navigate the steep, rocky terrain. The water is so clear and gorgeous and of course, the highlight of the trip: Emerald Cove. More beautiful in person and the perfect cherry on top of a perfect day. A total must do if you visit Vegas. Perfect way to spend a hot September day.Michelle took great care of us too. Watched us to make sure we were staying hydrated, didn't let anyone fall behind, took so many wonderful photos of all of us so we could just experience the river and she was hugely encouraging and fun to be on the water with! She has so many great stories too. I loved every minute and will be returning in a couple of months. Thank you, Michelle! The whole day was just perfection!

Wonderful day! The whole adventure was very smooth. Pick up was punctual, Preston had great knowledge of the areas we drove through to get to Willow beach. His tips for handling the kayak were brilliant. Not a blister in sight. Would highly recommend

First off, Julia our guide was absolutely amazing. She was so helpful and patient with me as it was my first time kayaking. I will say it's a slightly ambitious first time trip and it depends on the person but I'm living proof it is doable. Hindsight, for myself, I wish I'd had done some shorter trips or something before this trip. The views are amazing and beautiful. It's a great way to experience the beauty of the desert and something and to get off and away from the strip. I highly recommend River Dogs and Colorado River Emerald cave experience. It might just be a must do for us when we come out to Vegas.
