The Experience

Before You Go

Wear Comfortable Footwear

The ceremony sites require some walking on uneven desert terrain—opt for sturdy shoes to stay steady on the sandstone surfaces.

Stay Hydrated

Desert air saps moisture even on cooler days; carry bottled water to maintain energy and comfort throughout the ceremony.

Plan for Sun Protection

Bring hats, sunscreen, and sunglasses—the sun’s rays bounce sharply off the red rocks, amplifying exposure.

Coordinate Guest Numbers

Up to six guests can join at no extra charge; confirm your headcount early to ensure seamless arrangements.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Petroglyph Canyon: a quieter spot with well-preserved rock art worth exploring post-ceremony.
  • Elephant Rock: a striking formation resembling an elephant, perfect for unique photo backdrops.

Wildlife

  • Desert bighorn sheep often spotted on park ridges.
  • Lizards basking on sun-warmed sandstone surfaces.

Conservation Note

The park enforces leave-no-trace principles to protect fragile desert ecosystems and culturally significant rock art.

Valley of Fire was Nevada’s first state park, established in 1935, and features petroglyphs from the Anasazi, early agricultural peoples of the region.
