Valley of Fire is definitely worth the trip. Only an hour or so drive out of Vegas, so plenty of time out of the vehicle and time to wonder at the scenery and stroll around the stopping points. We did afternoon, so really enjoyed the sunset. Driver / guide was disappointing. Had no amplification, so we in second row could hardly hear, and those at the back had no chance. Not that the driver had anything useful or informative to say. Very disappointing. We believe that the Company does have driver / guides who are rated highly, so make sure they are your hosts when you go.
