Las Vegas is surrounded by amazing canyons and valleys and one of the most astounding is the Valley of Fire. This canyon really does look like red flames are licking up at the sky, especially at sunset, when the last rays of sunshine lend a flickery, glowing appearance to the bright red rock formations found here.

The best way to see this Las Vegas attraction is to take an SUV tour. This allows you to go off road and enjoy closeup views of the Mojave Desert. Plus, with a tour, you´ll have a guide who can teach you all about the history of this area.

The Valley of Fire is quite amazing. You´ll be surprised at the beautiful rock formations with their bizarre colors that really strike the eye. You will most definitely want to bring your camera along so you can snap some of these beautiful colors and take them back to show friends and family who weren´t with you on this Las Vegas tour.
