Nevada – Valley of Fire State Park is the state’s oldest and largest state park, dedicated in 1935. Civilian Conservation Corps workers helped to make the new park accessible to visitors through the construction of roads and rest areas. The valley derives its name from the red sandstone formations. // El Parque Estatal Valle de Fuego es el parque estatal más antiguo y grande del estado, inaugurado en 1935. Los trabajadores del Cuerpo Civil de Conservación contribuyeron a que el nuevo parque fuera accesible a los visitantes mediante la construcción de carreteras y áreas de descanso. El valle debe su nombre a las formaciones de arenisca roja.
