The Experience

Before You Go

Pick your light

Book early morning or late afternoon for soft, directional light and cooler temperatures; midday is harsh and less flattering for photos.

Bring water and closed shoes

Short walks over uneven sandstone require sturdy footwear and hydration, even if most time is spent near the limo.

Obtain your marriage license ahead of time

A Nevada marriage license is required for legal ceremonies; the supplier cannot get it for you, so pre-register and pick it up before your wedding day.

Limit guests and coordinate with supplier

Each booking is for two people by default; if you want additional guests, list them in special requests and confirm limo capacity.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Atlatl Rock petroglyph panels (short boardwalk and great backdrop)
  • Arch Rock and the Fire Wave overlook for varied textures and fewer crowds

Wildlife

Conservation Note

Weddings require permits to limit impact; stay on designated paths, avoid climbing fragile formations, and follow Leave No Trace to protect cryptobiotic soils and rock art.

The park’s Aztec sandstone was deposited as Jurassic dunes; prehistoric people left petroglyphs here that mark long-standing human ties to the landscape.
