The Valley of Fire State Park was dedicated in 1935 and is the oldest state park in Nevada. It is located near Overton about 30 miles northeast of Las Vegas Nevada at the north end of Lake Mead. This is a valley of petrified dunes, strangely-shaped rocks and sandstone cliffs. It is said to be one of the most colorful locations in the Southwest especially at sunset when the rocks take on a deep red glow. |
