About 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas, near the little town of Overton, is an oasis in the the desert!  Truly this is God's country!  Known as the Valley of Fire---this awesome area is only 6 miles from Lake Mead  and is one of Nevada's largest and oldest state parks.  Open year round the park touts camping and picnicking as some of its favorite things to do.   There is also a visitors center.  The tranquelity and peacefulness of the Valley is hard to surpass.  Check out this link for more information!
