Las Vegas is home to more than just the card table. The brightly-lit casinos that line the strip may offer the chance to win big money, but this is only one piece of the puzzle. Las Vegas may attract you with its big name acts and bright lights, but if you take a step back from the sights and sounds of the amazing shows and beautiful fountains, you start to enter a world more serene.
Located only miles away from Las Vegas are other spectacular shows, ones that have been waiting to amaze visitors for thousands of years without the use of celebrities, flashing lights, or loud music. In fact, it is the subdued brilliance of areas like the Valley of Fire State Park near Overton, Nevada that really take your breathe away. Visitors seeking to tour the City of Lights may find a tour of this natural wonder more colorful and brighter than any casino marquee.
Located 55 miles outside Las Vegas, Nevada, Valley of Fire State Park is Nevada's oldest state park and home to a complex array of colorful panoramas. Covering roughly 35,000 acres, the unique geological features inside this playground of the gods will keep you and your camera busy all day. With prehistoric Indian petroglyphs there are unusual sandstone erosions, and petrified logs washed in from an ancient forest.
The Valley of Fire is a theater for the imagination. Arch Rock, Piano Rock, Duck Rock, Fire Canyon, the Beehives, and the Seven Sisters are just some of the most popular rock formations. During sunrise and sunset the rocks appear to come alive with fire, giving the Valley of Fire its name. Camping is available at several locations inside the park, however temperatures in the area can reach 120 degrees in the summer, not exactly comfortable.
With so much to see in the Valley of Fire, first time visitors are often unaware of the best spots or how to hit them all in one trip. It would be ideal to have a guide with you who knows the way and can explain all the features and formations. Do your research and find a quality touring company in Las Vegas as there are several to choose from. Make sure the tour offers all this plus the addition of comfort and relaxation.
The company should provide smooth, comfortable rides in air-conditioned Hummers, driven by tour guides who know where they are going and know what they are talking about. Let these local professionals pick you right up from your Vegas hotel and escort you to exotic destinations like the Valley of Fire, the Grand Canyon, El Dorado Gold Mine, the Hoover Dam, and more!
Also it is best to find a company that offers a fleet of luxury SUVs and knowledgeable staff to help you experience the natural beauty that surrounds Las Vegas. With accommodations that fit every budget, a quality tour is the perfect getaway during your otherwise hectic, busy Las Vegas vacation. Come step outside and book your unforgettable adventure today!
