Unlock the secrets of Fire Wave at Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada, where nature's artistry knows no bounds! 🌅 Its majestic curves and vibrant, naturally striped sandstone evoke the power of the ocean, frozen in time in the heart of the Mojave Desert.

But what appears to be a volcanic wonder is actually a testament to the transformative force of wind, water, and time. And when the late-afternoon sun casts its golden glow? The landscape is set ablaze with possibility! Would you be inspired by Fire Wave's fiery spirit? 👇

Absolutely — or too hot to handle?

Don't even try to go to The Wave without a permit! The fine is up to $100,000, and there is usually a park ranger on the trail checking your permit.

The permit covers up to 6 people, including whoever applied for it, but here's the part that trips people up: if you win with a group of 6 and later decide to hire a guide, that guide doesn't count toward your 6, since a guide's name never goes on the permit itself.

So yes, a group of 6 can still bring a guide along and be 7 people on the trail, permit and all. If we apply on your behalf, it is different! Here is how it works: https://dreamlandtours.net/wave-conditional-tour/

As fire crews continue to make positive progress on the many fires still burning in the American Southwest, we urge all locals and visitors to exercise caution. Obey all fire regulations in the areas you travel to, and only attend locally sanctioned fireworks displays. When in doubt, check it out - ask personnel at your hotel, visitor center, or tour provider. And THANK YOU to the people on the ground working tirelessly to keep us and our communities safe!
