Valley of Fire... no kidding.
Could be North Muddy Mountains in far background? or part of Weiser Ridge?
Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada has lots to offer including driving and camping and hiking. You can't go wrong. Valley of Fire is the oldest Nevada State Park and was dedicated in 1935. Valley of Fire State Park covers an area of approximately 35,000 acres. Valley of Fire was named for the magnificent red sandstone formations that were formed from great shifting sand dunes during the age of the dinosaurs more than 150 million years ago (Mesozoic Era). These brilliant sandstone formations can appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun’s rays. Other important rock formations include limestone, shale, and conglomerates.
