New Year Trip, December 31 of 2026 to January 3rd of 2027
The year 2027 starts with a long weekend, and I invite you to spend first three days of New Year hiking and exploring imagination-inspiring countless wonders of Valley of Fire State Park of Nevada.
I reserved Group Camping Area 02 for 3 nights.
Stay: Thursday 12/31/2026 - Sunday 01/03/2027.
We can park there 12 cars. Price: $25.00/per car/per night.
"Each vehicle entering the park must pay their entrance, camping, and any other applicable fees upon arrival."
Nestled in the heart of Mojave Desert, lies a place where time seems to stand steel. A place where the raw, untamed beauty of the earth is laid bare in hues of crimson, orange, and gold. This is the Valley of Fire State Park. Millions of years of wind and water have sculpted these rocks into fantastical shapes – from towering spires that piers the sky to delicate arches that frame the desert horizon.
We can hike: Fire Canyon loop trail - 5.7 miles; Top of the World Arch trail – 4.4 miles; Fire Wave trail – 1.5 miles; White Domes loop – 1.2 miles; Piano Rock, Petroglyph Canyon, Rainbow Vista, Elephant Rock, Crazy Hill, and Atlatl Rock Viewpoint Trails, each one of them is shorter than a mile. We can even do a moon hike on New Year eve. This place has starred as a backdrop in numerous films and videos that have been distributed worldwide.
The park is a sanctuary for wildlife. Hooting great horned owls at night, kangaroo rats (never need to drink water) around campfires, soaring above the landscape red-tailed hawks and hanging out around the campground antelope ground squirrels at day time, and the largest mammals in the park bighorn sheep, clinging to and clambering impossibly over rocks and ledges. Desert tortoise, chuckwalla, up to 15 inches long, barreling over rocks, banded Gila monster, and red-spotted toads…
