8. The Crazy Hill Trail
The hill in question is actually a huge mound of sandstone created by millions of years of erosion. This hike is yet another great trail for beginners. It is only 0.62 miles long and has an elevation of less than 76 feet.
What’s most fascinating about this natural attraction is arguably the unusual combination of colors. The best time to visit this crazy hill is around sunrise or sunset when the natural light is softer. The hike itself should take less than 10 minutes, so you could even complete it at the end of your visit to the park. The trailhead is situated on Mouse’s Tank Road.
9. The Natural Arches Trail
The popular Natural Arches Trail is a 4.22+ out and back hike that will take you roughly 90 minutes to finish depending on your level of experience and fitness. While the main attraction here has succumbed to erosion, the trail still provides hikers with beautiful scenic views. What makes this trek truly challenging though is the notably thick sand. Park your vehicle in the lot off of the convenient Valley of Fire Highway. The trailhead is between Elephant Rock and the local historic cabins.
