- Choose an easy, moderate, or difficult guided hike among the red rock formations and petroglyphs

Pickup details
Pick up will be at your hotel or a hotel relatively close. You will be contacted 1-2 days before your reservation date to confirm pick up time and exact location. If you are staying at a hotel or rental home away from the strip or downtown you will be asked to go to the nearest Strip or Downtown hotel property.
What To Expect
Depending upon which option you choose, this Valley of Fire hiking tour either leaves Las Vegas at sunrise, or later in the day in the late morning or early afternoon. Once you meet with the rest of your group, which won’t exceed 13 people, leave the lights of Vegas behind and begin to commune with nature, as you travel out into the wide-open desert.
Along the drive, make a stop at the Moapa Indian Reservation to pick up some fireworks, liquor, or cigarettes that are completely duty-free.
When you enter the Valley of Fire State Park, your guide explains the area’s history as well as its fascinating geology, and leads you to the trailhead of whichever hike you’ve chosen.
Over the course of the trek through the park, learn about the erosion and seismic fault lines that have created the rugged terrain, all while surrounded by a surreal landscape of enormous, deeply red rocks. For thousands of years, Native American-Indian tribes have lived and survived in this landscape, and your guide offers some fascinating insight to their legends, history, and myths, as well as point out some ancient petroglyphs that have been here for 3,000 years.
Water and snacks are provided for the hike, and once you’ve conquered the dusty trail and soaked up the epic beauty, you have the chance to explore the Valley of Fire official visitors center. On the car ride back to Las Vegas, rest your legs and watch the scene slowly change outside the window, as the windswept desert slowly gives to the glitz, glamor, and lights.

Our guide, Matthew, was great! He quickly assessed the abilities of the group and guided us on the perfect path for us. Challenging and exciting while still being “doable “. Two thumbs up 👍🏻 👍🏻. Such a beautiful day!

When Matthew picked us up and said he likes to take us where no one else goes it was 5 stars for us already :) we didn’t see one person on our hike, it was just our group.
We felt very safe with Matthew with his experience and knowledge of the area, he kept us hydrated, gave us snacks, checked on our welfare, seeked us as much shade as he could, gave us chances to catch our breathe.
I feel like he challenged us on this hike… in a good way, at the end I felt a massive achievement.
Highly recommend you book this tour and ask for Matthew if you can.

Amazing experience! As a family of 5 we had the tour to ourselves and Sarah customized it for us. She picked us up right on time, was a great guide and lots of fun. Dropped us right back to our hotel entrance. All in all a wonderful day!

Sarah was very knowledgeable and easy going. She presented choices instead of running us through a regular tour ( which we were very delighted to be able to customize our tour). We also learned so much about the area. Thank you Sarah@ lovehikes Definitely the highlight of our visit to Vegas , would 100% recommend to anyone.

Dustin our guide was great. Excellent communication from company. Not far from the Vegas strip. Would definitely book with them again
Cat_L, Apr 2024
The tour guide Sara was amazing, she was so knowledgeable and friendly! The group was small, only 4 of us, and we were provided with water and snacks. The valley was beautiful, really incredible to see, worth visiting 100%

Beautiful landscape, good walk and a great guide with good knowledge on history and the landscape. It was so good to move in the morning after a long flight to Vegas. The astonishing red rocks, the flowers. Excellent!
Audrey_F, Apr 2024
We had an awesome guide and the off-trail loop was amazing ! It was a lot of fun and I would recommend it 100%.
Sandra_B, Apr 2024
This is an odd review but I cannot say enough about how amazing our guide Michael was . I slipped on some loose gravel and shattered my ankle . He got help , the other members of the tour helped me get as comfortable as I could while waiting for paramedics who then had to carry me out of park and onto the hospital . Micheal and other members of the company called to check in on me . It was a random freak accident but everyone handled it so calmly and professionally- I can’t say enough good things truly
