The Valley of Fire, State Park
Valley of Fire, in Nevada, is a state park known for its stunning red sandstone formations, which illuminate the valley, especially at sunset, making it look as though it’s on fire. Entwined with the valley’s sandstone rock are remnants of prehistoric locals and unparalleled vistas. Of all the things to do in Nevada, this is one Silver State experience you can’t miss. Located in the Mojave Desert, Valley of Fire State Park has 46,000 acres of red Aztec sandstone which is blended with gray and tan colored limestone. The stunning landscape glows red for miles into the horizon and is particularly beautiful at sunset. The sandstone was formed by shifting sand dunes 150 million years ago.
Lake Mead National Recreation Area
Lake Mead, reservoir of Hoover Dam, one of the largest man-made lakes in the world. It is named for Dr. Elwood Mead, U.S. Reclamation Commissioner between 1924 and 1936. Lake Mead National Recreation Area was established October 8, 1964. Lake Mead backs up 110 miles behind Hoover Dam which was completed in 1935, thus creating this huge reservoir. Hoover Dam was without precedent, the greatest dam constructed in its day. An arch-gravity structure rising 726 feet above bedrock, Hoover is still the Western Hemisphere's highest concrete dam. It is 660 feet thick at its base, 45 feet thick at its crest, and stretches 1,244 feet across the Black Canyon. There are 4.4 million cubic yards of concrete in the dam, power plant and related structures.
