Created by the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead is America's largest reservoir and offers stunning blue waters against the desert landscape. The morning sun reflecting off its surface creates perfect photo opportunities during the tour.

These dramatic sandstone formations showcase layers of different colored rock creating a striking contrast against the blue desert sky. A short trail takes visitors through a slot canyon and past remnants of a movie set used in the 1966 film "The Professionals."

This remarkable natural formation resembles an elephant complete with trunk, creating a whimsical sight among the red rocks. The formation is easily accessible near the east entrance of the park, making it a popular photo stop.

This famous formation features mesmerizing swirls of red and white sandstone that resemble a frozen wave. Its unique patterns and colors make it one of the most photographed spots in the park.

These distinctive rock formations feature natural weathering patterns that resemble old-fashioned beehives stacked atop one another. Their unusual shape demonstrates the power of wind and water erosion over millions of years.

This grouping of seven tall, red sandstone pillars stands in stark contrast to the surrounding desert floor. The formation creates a dramatic silhouette, especially when photographed during the golden hours of early morning or late afternoon.

This natural basin collects rainwater in the red sandstone and is named after a Southern Paiute outlaw who allegedly used this area as a hideout. The short hiking trail leading to the tank features numerous petroglyphs along the canyon walls.

Named for the ancient spear-throwing device depicted in its petroglyphs, this massive rock features a metal staircase allowing visitors to view prehistoric art up close. The well-preserved carvings include images of humans, animals, and symbols dating back thousands of years.

This breathtaking viewpoint showcases a valley where multicolored sandstone formations create a rainbow-like panorama. The vista point offers one of the best opportunities to appreciate the full spectrum of colors that give Valley of Fire its name.
