Valley of Fire ATV Tour from Las Vegas — 3-Hour Off‑Road Adventure
A high-octane, three-hour ATV tour that trades the Las Vegas glare for rust-red sandstone, wind-carved dunes, and petroglyph panels—complete with hotel pickup, safety gear, and lunch.
The Experience
Before You Go
Stay Hydrated
Bring at least 1 liter of water in addition to the bottled water provided—desert temperatures and wind dehydrate faster than you expect.
Sun Protection
Wear SPF 30+, a brimmed hat under your helmet, and UV-blocking sunglasses to reduce glare and sand exposure.
Driver Requirements
Drivers must be 18 and present a valid driver’s license; if you have back or heart issues, opt to ride as a passenger.
Protect Your Gear
Use a dust-resistant case or a secure zip pouch—sand damages cameras and phones quickly on open trails.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Fire Wave (best late afternoon for color and texture)
- •Atlatl Rock petroglyph panel—a compact, accessible carving site often missed by larger tour groups
Wildlife
- •Desert bighorn sheep
- •Chuckwalla and desert lizards
Conservation Note
Stay on designated routes, do not touch or climb on petroglyph panels, and pack out all trash to protect fragile sandstone and cultural sites.
Valley of Fire’s sandstone formed from wind-deposited dunes in the Jurassic; petroglyphs show human activity in the area for thousands of years.
