Petroglyph Canyon Trail, Valley of Fire State Park

Petroglyph Canyon Trail in Valley of Fire State Park is a 0.7-mile, easy hike with a 60-foot elevation gain. Located less than an hour from Las Vegas, this trail offers a glimpse into the ancient history of the area, showcasing petroglyphs carved into the red sandstone by humans over 2,500 years ago. The trail starts near the park's visitor center and transitions from a paved path to a sandy trail (think walking on the beach with a few rocks here and there) in Fire Canyon Wash. Hikers are encouraged to stay on the trail to protect the delicate sandstone and not to touch the ancient petroglyphs. The hike ends at Mouse's Tank, a natural sandstone basin that if sometimes filled with rain water. When full, tanks are vital resources in the water-scarce desert so please also refrain from entering the water.

Very nice hiking trail
