Second time on the moderate hike - This was the second time for me on the Valley of Fire moderate hike with Love Hikes - different and terrific each time. Michael our hike guide was truly excellent, sharing his knowledge of the history, geology, plant and animal life of the Valley of Fire. His eagle eye meant we spotted, and could film, bighorn sheep. The sandstone rocks are striking and the petroglyphs show the skills - and humour - of early hunters. The Visitors Centre has really good displays about the history of the Valley of Fire.

Must do tour! Stunning. - Such an incredible spot, we got off the main track and had a chance to soak in all the serenity. Highly recommend this hike and going with Nick as he was very knowledgeable about the area.

Adventure! - The hike was great! You'll get some great views and potentially see a lot of wildlife. We saw a ton of sheep on our trip! Nick was also a great and knowledgeable guide who brought tons of water, snacks and made sure everyone was comfortable. He always made sure to explain what we were seeing (wildlife, plants, etc.) and was a great photographer for all your Instagram needs. The moderate hike isn't too bad but does involve a lot of balance and some very steep (both up and down) moments so keep that in mind. I would definitely go on this tour and would recommend this hike and Nick as a guide to my friends!
Some logistical notes: pickup is at your hotel which is great and the guide arrives on time and texts you when they are there, it takes about 45 min to get out to the park (we left my hotel at 6am, picked up folks at two other hotels and I was back at 10:30am), there are real bathrooms to use before/after the hike (running water! toilet paper!), and you will get a ton of sand in your shoes :)

Solo tour 😬 - I got lucky today and was the only one on the tour today with Sarah. Super cool and laid back with so much knowledge about anything and everything. Appreciated the pick up option as I did not rent a car. She arrived promptly and we were pretty good on time. No crowds which is always great! Coupled with beautiful weather. I did the friendly hike and was able to take my time. Appreciate the access to refill water, bathroom and the gift shop stop at the end. Thanks for also being my photographer!

A Must-Visit!... - A Must-Visit!
Visiting Valley of Fire was an absolutely amazing experience—breathtaking views, stunning rock formations, and an energy that you truly have to feel in person. I’d go again in a heartbeat. Our guide, Sarah, was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the park’s history. She added so much depth to the experience. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Nevada’s desert landscape!

Great hike! - I had a great experience! Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. He took us off trail and it was great to see untouched areas of the park. He was careful to keep our safety in mind as well. I was a little disappointed that we didn’t see any petroglyphs on our hike.
