The roads through Valley of Fire State Park, northeast of Las Vegas, wind among formations of brilliant red Aztec sandstone that seem to glow at sunrise and sunset. Highlights include the Fire Wave's striped slickrock, ancient petroglyphs at Atlatl Rock, and the much-filmed scenery that has stood in for alien planets on screen. It is Nevada's oldest state park.
