Valley of Fire State Park: Rules & Regulations
The desert is extremely fragile! Thoughtless motorists and
others who have abused the area in the past have left scars. It will take centuries
for nature to restore this desert area to its original condition. To protect the desert and ensure the safety of others, we have the following rules:
- Drive your vehicle only on approved routes of travel (see map). and park only
in designated places along the roadside shoulders. Motor vehicles are not allowed on trails.
- Camp only in designated campground sites.
