Valley of Fire - Driving Route

My husband and I are going to Vegas for the first time, and will be taking a day trip to Valley of Fire. We will be taking the direct route of I-15 to get there... is taking the longer route of 167 worth it for the return trip? I wasn't sure if that could be considered a "scenic" route, or if it's just another interstate.

We recently drove 147 to the Valley of Fire, and I can assure you it is a beautiful and very worthwhile drive.

On your way back to Las Vegas on I-15 (or on another day) also visit Red Rock Canyon, which is NW of Las Vegas. It is also quite spectacular.

167 brings you out along Lake Mead. After you drive through the park from I-15, you come to it. It's worth returning to Las Vegas on 167.

Great. I am glad to hear that it's worth driving the 167 (aka Northshore Road?)back to LV. We will plan on taking that route on our return from VoF!

How long would a drive out up the 15 and out through Valley of Fire, then the 167 back to Vegas take, approximately? No hiking or picnic, maybe just a few scenic photos stops, but just a leisurely drive...........
