White Domes Road

The main highway (NV 169) through Valley of Fire State Park passes much spectacular, eroded rocky scenery, but even better is the six mile White Domes Road, also known as Mouse's Tank Road, which forks northwards beside the visitor center. Along this paved scenic drive are several short trails, narrow canyons, petroglyphs, desert viewpoints, and in particular, more colorful rocks; demonstrating that not all the landscape in the park is red, the land towards the end of the road is covered by large areas of slickrock in a wide range of bright colors, principally yellow, white, orange, grey and pink.
