Description
A small cluster of wildflowers grows on a ledge at Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada.
Valley of Fire is located 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas. It is Nevada's oldest and largest state park, dedicated in 1935. The name derives from red sandstone formations, formed from great sifting sand dunes 150 million years ago. Complex uplifting and faulting of the region, followed by extensive erosion, have created the present landscape. Prehistoric users of the Valley of Fire included the Basket Maker people and later the Anasazi Pueblo farmers from the nearby Moapa Valley. Temperatures in the Valley of Fire can reach as high as 120 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer.
