Description
Valley of Fire is a beautiful Nevada State Park which lies about 1 hour northeast of Las Vegas. Most of the sandstone formations that are found in Valley of Fire are made of sand grains that are made of mostly pure silica. Silica Dome is the best example in the park of such a deposit. The brown sandstone layer is made when a small amount of iron is within the stone. This iron gives the stone its color.
