WHITE DOMES LOOP Trail | VALLEY OF FIRE State Park | Exploring a Slot Canyon and Colorful Rocks

The White Domes Loop Trail is almost always mentioned as one of the must-do hikes for those visiting Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. It is known for colorful sandstone formations, a slot canyon, and even the remnants of an old Hollywood movie set. We set out on the trail to see if it lives up to its reputation.

In this episode, we explore the White Domes of Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. We walk the length of the White Domes Loop trail and get to experience a beautiful slot canyon, many colorful sandstone formations, as well as the remnants of an old movie set from a 1965 film named "The Professionals".

The hike is a relatively short one (around a mile), and is quite simple with not too much elevation change.

The beginning part is probably the most challenging as it is through thick sand, which then descends into a small canyon. The initial decent has some steps and can be slick at times when loose sand blows over smooth stone.

We arrived around 7:30 AM and did not see a single person the entire time we were there.

This section of the park is often rated very high on lists of things to do at Valley of Fire. After experiencing it for ourselves, we tend to agree that this trail is one of the highlights of the park.

Unfortunately, the trail is not wheelchair accessible, and you have to hike deep into it to experience the best parts (a slot canyon, old movie set, colorful sandstone, the domes, etc...)

There seems to be plenty of parking and I did observe it being very busy at times, but was always able to find a vacant parking spot, even in peak season.

Near the parking area, you'll find restrooms (vault toilets), as well as a covered area with tables, and grills, making this a great spot for a picnic lunch.
