Select participants and date
The limo eases off the Strip at first light and, within an hour, the city’s neon gives way to a horizon of orange and ochre. You step onto a low ridge and the sunrise finds the red sandstone hungry for light; the rocks flare as if the ground itself has chosen the day to celebrate. Wind moves through the gullies like a careful guest; the scent of warm stone and creosote hangs in the air.

Adventure Tips
Book golden hour for portraits
Schedule the ceremony in the hour after sunrise or the hour before sunset to avoid harsh midday sun and get the best color on the sandstone.
Hydrate and pack shade
Bring extra water and a collapsible shade or umbrella for guests—temperatures can spike quickly in summer.
Wear practical footwear
Even accessible sites have uneven sandstone; choose sturdy, closed-toe shoes with traction rather than formal footwear for moving between shots.
Confirm guest count & permits
Up to six guests are included at no extra charge—notify the operator ahead of time if you plan to bring more or need special arrangements.

History
Valley of Fire was designated Nevada’s first state park in 1935; the area contains petroglyphs left by Ancestral Puebloan peoples who visited the region for hunting and ceremony.
Conservation
Stay on established paths and keep a respectful distance from petroglyphs; the desert’s soil and rock veneers recover slowly from foot traffic and graffiti harms irreplaceable cultural sites.
