Entering Valley of Fire. The Valley of Fire is located about 55 miles north-east of Las vegas and it is featured by large formations of sand-stone, with deep reddish colors. Because this kind of rock is very soft, it is easily modelled by wind and rain, which creates often very bizzarre shapes over the years.



The Cabins in the Valley of Fire were built in the years 1930 for the first tourits, using the same sandstone found all around.
