16. Hike To Atlatl Rock
Atlatl Rock is a huge sandstone rock that is almost completely covered with ancient petroglyphs. You can only reach it via a short trail that is less than 250 feet in length. Most of it is metal steps.
There’s also an additional metal staircase actually built into the rock face’s side in order to help travelers more easily see the numerous petroglyphs. Climb high enough and you can get quite close to all of them. Atlatl Rock is conveniently situated right off the Valley of Fire Highway on the previously mentioned Campground Road.
17. Visit Fire Cave
Famous Fire Cave is only a quick drive from massive Atlatl Rock, so why not visit both of them in a single trip? Veteran visitors and travel bloggers alike refer to this natural roadside attraction as being “exciting”, “immersive”, and even “photogenic.” Also called Windstone Arch, this site is nothing like any of the other natural attractions that you will find in the popular Valley of Fire.
Mind you, the arch here is actually found inside the cave. It can’t be seen from your car. It’s okay though since people are permitted to venture into the cave itself. There’s a small entrance that you can actually use to take in the sight of the curing orange walls.
