Valley of Fire & Mojave Desert

You're standing face-to-face with petroglyphs carved into sandstone by the Basketmaker people more than 2,000 years ago — and you're only 45 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. Nevada's oldest state park is one of the best-kept secrets near Vegas, and in a group of 13 it feels like a private discovery. Your guide leads you through the glowing Beehives, Atlatl Rock, Rainbow Vista, Fire Canyon, and Elephant Rock before finishing at the Lost City Museum, home to one of the Southwest's finest collections of early Puebloan artifacts. Your hotel is your pickup point, water and snacks are included.

• Fire Wave — surreal striped sandstone
• Ancient Native American petroglyphs
• Elephant Rock and Arch Rock formations
• Small group of 13 — no crowds
• Hotel pickup & drop-off included
