Written Directions

This route starts in Northeast Vegas and runs in a loop northeast of the city. From Las Vegas: I-15 to Valley of Fire State park exit. Continue through the park and hit Hwy 167 towards Lake Mead. Right on 167 will take you back towards Hoover Dam/ Henderson/Las Vegas. At the end of 167 you can go left to Hoover Dam or right towards Henderson. Pick up Boulder Highway back to Vegas.

Scenery

Awesome scenery throughout the ride. Views of unusual rock formations and parts of Lake Mead are visible from several parts of the route.

Drive Enjoyment

Interstate 15 portion is good, state park road is good, the desert harshness has not been kind to Hwy 167. Not impassable, but a few bumps in the road got our attention. Hold on!

Tourism Opportunities

Amenities are more plentiful at the beginning and end of the route around Las Vegas. Once off the interstate, not much available. The State Park has restrooms and a small visitor center and scenic waysides.

Hi All, is there any time of year that you cannot ride through the park? Thanks.

This is a great morning ride, before the desert heat kicks in. Turn into Valley of Fire, or continue on to Overton and stop at "Sugars" for breakfast before hitting I-15 back into town.

The scenery thru Valley of Fire is beautiful. The route thru the Lake Mead area is nice, as well. One of the nicest rides in the area.
