See Beehives, Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada

Add to My List Check Off

If you’re cruising through the Valley of Fire State Park, make sure to check out the Beehives--an unusual sandstone formation that can be seen from the road. You can think of the Beehives as a geological calendar--the grooved lines going in different directions represent layers of silt that were deposited at different times. The layers indicate the angle the wind or water was moving at the time the material was deposited. Cool, right? How To Get There: From Las Vegas, take Interstate 15 north for about 35 miles to exit 75. At the end of the offramp, proceed southeast on Valley of Fire Highway. Reach the park’s west entrance after 14.5 miles. Shortly after the entrance, you will see a group-use area down a road to the right. The gravel turnout for Beehives is just past the group-use area road. TIPS: Park entrance fee required for Valley of Fire State Park.
