Valley of Fire petroglyphs hike
One of the ways to find out more about the ancient rock art carvings is to take a guided tour.
Park rangers at Valley of the Fire gave free guided tours in February on one of the most popular hiking trails, known as Mouse’s Tank.
KCSG tagged along to capture the history and tales behind the more than 800 petroglyphs along this trail in the Mojave Desert.
#14 Valley of Fire
Valley of Fire State Park is beautiful beyond my imagination! The color of the rock formations and the size of them are incredible. It is as if We stepped back into prehistoric times. The hiking is top notch and ranges from easy to extreme.
The campgrounds are nestled around and inside the rock formations. There are several campgrounds within the park itself, some have full hook-ups. These are beautiful campsites.
The landscape looks like a foreign planet. Amazing and beautiful, I find it hard to believe anyone could have called this area home. Join us as we show you some of the best places inside the park to visit.
The park is located about 40 miles North of the city of Las Vegas.

Valley of Fire State Park Hikes - Atlatl Rock (Near Las Vegas, NV)
Valley of Fire State Park is an excellent place to see Native American rock art up close. Atlatl Rock sports a collection of petroglyphs on a boulder about fifty feet off the ground. A metal staircase has been installed on the side of the red sandstone formation to take visitors right up to a viewing area in front of the petroglyphs. Atlatl Rock is on a Scenic Loop Road on the west side of the park next to Atlatl Rock Campground and is a great, quick attraction in Valley of Fire State Park.
The trail to Atlatl Rock is only about 250 feet long and most of that is stairs. Get started from Atlatl Rock Picnic Area, which has picnic tables, shade canopies, barbecue grills, water spigots, and vault toilets. The staircase up to the petroglyphs is visible on the drive to the picnic area, so finding the trail won’t be a challenge. Follow the trail south for fifty yards to hit the base of a staircase painted red-orange to match the surrounding stone.
Go up the steps through a couple twists to come up to a viewing platform. Stand on the metal deck in front of a well-preserved collection of symbols carved onto a dark patch of rock. The petroglyphs are easy to see because they were carved into a natural layer of darker material called desert varnish, exposing red-orange rock underneath.
Petroglyphs cover the boulder in front of the viewing platform, depicting people, animals, and symbols. Toward the top of rock, you’ll see a pair of horizontal carvings representing an atlatl and a spear. A panel at Atlatl Rock explains that:
