Desert Road

The iconic open, desert road is typical in Valley of Fire State Park. Nevada's oldest state park, it derives its name from red sandstone formations, formed from great shifting sand dunes during the age of dinosaurs. These features, which are the centerpiece of the park's attractions, often appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun's rays.
