Scenic Peaks and Overlooks

Valley of Fire State Park features diverse geological formations shaped by shifting sand dunes and erosion over 150 million years. This collection highlights significant Aztec Sandstone peaks and overlooks, including the high-silica formations of Silica Dome and the wind-sculpted Beehive Rock. Visitors can observe distinct cross-bedding layers, slot canyons at White Domes, and panoramic vistas of Fire Canyon. These sites showcase the park's transition from vibrant red sandstone to stark white limestone and shale outcrops.
