📍Valley of Fire - 1 hour from Las Vegas

📍Valley of Fire State Park - Moapa Valley, NV

💰$15 per car to enter unless you have a pass. Nevada residents are cheaper.

🥾Tons of hikes to do here, you truly can’t go wrong. We did the fire wave - but plan to go back and explore more soon.

🚙The park closes at sundown and you’re not allowed to drive at night - they do enforce this and if you’re still parked and hiking when they say you need to leave, you’ll get a fine.
