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
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.
if you are renting a car, drive out via the interstate to valley of fire in the morning then hit hoover dam and maybe lake mead on the way back to vegas. good day trip.
