Slot canyons have always been our favorite kind of slot. Maybe that’s why we loved Valley of Fire State Park which is an enchanting world of red rock, petroglyphs, big horn sheep and stunning vistas. And despite its proximity to Las Vegas, it boasts a night sky only slightly less impressive than the one found in Death Valley. Just $15 for a day pass and another $10 for the campsite. That’s an even better deal than a Vegas buffet.
