6 Things to Do at Valley of Fire State Park

1. Visit Atlatl Rock

If you love history, Atlatl Rock should be your destination. The massive rock with a 250-foot metal staircase is not only a fantastic view but also preserves history. As you go up the staircase, there is a collection of petroglyphs over 4000 years old showing an atlatl. An atlatl is an ancient stick tool or dart thrower used to give spears and darks more throw force used by ancient tribes.
