Hike Balanced Rock Trail (Valley of Fire), Nevada

Add to My List Check Off

Watch out now! This formation of red sandstone could topple over at any minute. Not really. But it sure looks like it will! Walk this quarter-mile roundtrip trail to see this precarious rock formation. And while you’re at it, check out the nearby visitor center to learn about the park’s geology, animals, and past human inhabitants. Distance: 0.25 roundtrip How to Get There: From Las Vegas, take Interstate 15 north for about 35 miles to exit 75. At the end of the offramp, go southeast on Valley of Fire Highway. Reach the park’s west entrance after 14.5 miles. Drive another 3.5 miles and turn left, following a sign for the visitor center. After a tenth of a mile, stay to the right past the start of White Domes Road, drive up to the visitor center, and park. TIPS: There is a park entrance fee to enter the Valley of Fire State Park.
