Coming to Valley of Fire on a weekday? Please note the Park can NOT be accessed from Exit 75 on the I-15!
Instead, take Exit 93 from I-15, or drive through Lake Mead National Recreation Area, to access Valley of Fire from the East entrance/exit.

Navigation aids have been sending many of our visitors to West side of the park, which is CLOSED Monday-Thursday until further notice.

Here we are posting photos of the road closure sign that was placed off Exit 75 at the border of the travel plaza area (before mile marker 1) as drivers head towards the Park. Some people are missing this sign, which was placed here during the first week of construction.
Be on the lookout! If you see these views when following your GPS, you may have taken the wrong exit.
