Description
Travel comfortably from your Las Vegas hotel in a Mercedes Sprinter or Mini Coach through the Mojave Desert. Your professional guide explains the region’s history, ecology, and geology en route to Valley of Fire State Park.
At the park, visit Rainbow Vista to see White Dome and Duck Rock, featuring colorful canyons, domes, towers, and ridges formed from sand deposited over 150 million years ago. This area contrasts with the park’s dominant red sandstone landscape with hues of yellow, gold, and red blended together.
Explore Atlatl Rock, named after an ancient tool used for throwing darts and spears. This site contains petroglyphs that remain undeciphered by experts. Next, visit The Cabins, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s from native sandstone, originally to shelter travelers. This spot also offers excellent photographic opportunities.
