![]() There's a small museum at the center, a tiny gift shop, rangers on hand to answer questions, restrooms, and a "backyard" with multiple bird feeders that allows for terrific bird watching. I made a beeline for the small visitors center to look at a park map and get any other valuable information. I arrived before opening, so I had to sit and wait for about 20 minutes. It was my first visit, and I didn't have much of a plan. Wanting some alone time, I set out very early for Valley of Fire state park with my phone, a cooler, hat, and sunscreen. I'm not big on nature, but I started to dip my toe in the great outdoors during the 2020 lockdown. ![]() Overall we enjoyed the beautiful rock scenery, took some nice pictures, and the kids enjoyed climbing the rocks. There was a hike after you get out of the parking lot and some of our group took a short hike. It looked far on the map but wasn't too much further up the path. After the visit to the visitor center, we made our way to White Domes Loop. They were much cleaner than the ones out on the trails. There were restrooms inside and outside of the visitor center. They also have Wi-Fi, but you will have to pay $3 and up. One of our next stops was the visitor center and the family enjoyed looking at the various souvenirs, trinkets, and snacks. The rocks were easy to climb at this location and there were great views of the wind holes and rock structures. ![]() One of the first stops was Beehives and this was a really nice spot for the kids. The drive was pretty easy from the city and the traffic was relatively fast and then it slowed toward the park entrance where we paid the $15 entrance fee per car. The Valley of Fire State Park was a fun day trip from our Las Vegas Hotel for the whole family.
