    If you visit Valley of Fire and only have time for one hike, make sure it’s this one! Short, easy walk from the parking lot. Stunning colors, lots of awesome photo opportunities. Can’t recommend enough!

    Amazing trail and amazing views! Super easy. If you go a little bit off trail, you may find spectacular rock formations, like the pictures below.

    We did the entire Fire Wave and Seven Wonders loop. Hike was very pretty and the rocks were amazing! The sandstone formations are really quite neat. When we were leaving around noon it had become pretty packed so get there early. I think March/April is the perfect time to go. High was in the 50's, but without any shade this was perfect temperature.

    This is a fantastic trail and sight to see. Ranging 1 1/2 miles out and back, the end of spectacle is a mixture of red white yellow rocks. Combine that with a celestial blue sky and it’s exactly what the heavens here to be! Trail head is well-defined. Parking is very limited. Not RV friendly, but we managed to squeeze ours in. No bathrooms at trail head. End of trail is well defined and marked. There are markers for the trail about every 50 yards so you don’t get lost.

    Really cool thing to see. Trail took us about 30 minutes each way. It can get very warm. We visited in April and got the whole fire wave to ourselves.

    Unexpected amazing place! There were no crowds, we were able to do some hikes and really enjoy the peaceful and breathtaking scenarios. This is not a big park but we would have loved to stay more than just a couple of hours. We had time to see the beautiful views, take pictures and just seat and breath along with nature. Definitely a place to visit!

    The hike may seem short, but it can be quite challenging in the summer heat. However, the Fire Wave is absolutely breathtaking and definitely worth the effort. Its stunning beauty is truly out of this world.

    The most beautiful trial. Even if you have still red rocks, they looks amazing on each corner. The trial is easy, beautiful and many spots to have beautiful pictures. Unbelieveable its made by nature itself. Take more water than you think you may need. Highly recomend, i really enjoyed this place. Good for kids as well

👍👍 Decent view from the parking area, and then a beautiful walk down a short concrete path with railings with even better views. Very accessible. Photos don't do it justice. Interpretive signs have deteriorated to the point that many are not readable, but you can get the gist. No restrooms.

👍👍 Camping here is amazing as long as you don't mind a naked 50 year old homeless man ranting into thin air for hours. Luckily the sound of the traffic overpowered him. It's really beautiful after you clean up all the garbage. I only found one needle. All the homeless people camping without tents just...
