Ask any local nature lover if he has visited the Bowl of Fire, and the answer will usually be, “Of course!” But many of those answers are incorrect because people confuse it with the similarly named Valley of Fire State Park. While both are must-sees for anyone who can do both and involve similar terrain, the Bowl of Fire is a completely different experience because it is accessible only by hiking. That means on most days, you’ll likely have the place to yourself. And you’ll always have the satisfaction of knowing you got there on your own two feet and will power.
