What makes Mouse’s Tank Trail unique are all the petroglyphs that you can see on the rocks! Mouse Tank Trail is very similar to Rainbow Vista Trail, in that it goes through a small-ish canyon area with craggy rocks rising up on the side of you. Some rocks even had a purple tint to them!Īlso, this hike takes you down through a little canyon area, including a small section of tight, slot canyon! Beyond the namesake domes, you’ll also see more multi-colored rocks and even some striated rocks throughout the trail. It’s named for the big, round, light colored rocks at the beginning of the trail (you can see them in the back of the photo, above). White Domes is the farthest back trail in Valley of Fire State Park. There are a few big boulders you can climb up to see the canyon from a higher vantage point. The trail ends at the Fire Canyon Overlook, a large canyon filled with rocks and formations in a huge variety of shapes and sizes. It creates a delightfully haphazard feel as you walk along a sandy wash. Rainbow Vista Trail is an easy hike that starts out in an open section with scrubby plants around before going in to a little canyon area with sloped, red-rock walls that look like rocks have just been heaped up on either side. The best things to do in Valley of Fire involve hiking! The following 7 trails are ones to all consider when you visit the park.
