Valley of Fire or Red Rock Canyon
Will try to hit both of these the day we rent a car but we are doing Hoover Dam early & if theres only time for 1 of these we were wondering which is better. Thanks

Valley of Fire. And it's closer to Hoover Dam, as well.

I agree with bookhall, if you have to choose only one, then I'd pick Valley of Fire.

Me, three - Valley of Fire. I think it's visually more interesting and the terrain more varied - there are fantastic red rock formations, arches, petroglyphs, even a slot canyon.

Valley of Fire.

If you have time for both, go to the Red Rock first, as you may not like it after the Valley of Fire.
