Hear the guide
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Valley of Fire tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
“Up ahead is Atlatl Rock, where a steep metal stairway brings you close to petroglyphs high on the sandstone face. I'd stop here for rock art without a long hike, provided the stairs work for you.”
Real stops, real narration
Three real lines from the narration, each with the app’s tip for that stop, at three of the most-loved stops in Valley of Fire.
“Elephant Rock is coming up near the east entrance, a sandstone arch with a long, trunk-like span.”
Heads up The elephant outline depends on your viewing angle
“White Domes is ahead, with pale sandstone and a shaded picnic area at the road end.”
Heads up Loose sand and sloping rock make the loop rougher than its mileage suggests.
“You're approaching the Fire Wave parking area, the start of the walk to its pink-and-cream striped sandstone. Allow an hour or two for the one point four-mile round trip over loose sand and uneven rock.”
Heads up The exposed walk crosses loose sand and uneven rock with little shade.
