Q:
If one only has 2 hours to spend in the park (will be in transit from Las Vegas to Bryce), what at the best/must do hikes for an adventurous family? We are fit but don’t hike that fast bc we like to enjoy scenery and the tweens love to scramble on any rocks they can find. Thanks!

The Fire Wave Trail is very nice and you can see some wonderful scenery and Bighorn sheep. The drive from the main entrance to the Fire Wave trailhead is loaded with scenic places to stop along the road. The trail is short and you can simply double back if and when you want to end it early. There is a nice, short slot canyon at the bottom of the hill on the left. You will love this place as well as Bryce. Why not stop at Zion too? If you do have the time it is well worth it. Even a day trip can do it and you can then take HWY 9, the most beautiful drive to Bryce. Bryce is great too, explore the Red Rock Canyon just before you hit Bryce. If you have time you could also drive east along HWY 12, a beautiful drive. Have fun and take lots of photos. Here is a website page of my short visit to Valley of Fire. Enjoy,

Q:
How does sunset photography work? Since they close at sunset do you need to arrive an hour early and be out of there by sunset?
A:
That's pretty much the answer. Sunrise and sunset are the best times for photography in my opinion. I went there both times and spent hours. There is so much to see. Be at the gate …
A:
That's pretty much the answer. Sunrise and sunset are the best times for photography in my opinion. I went there both times and spent hours. There is so much to see. Be at the gate when it opens and be ready to go once it gets almost dark. The park makes a sweep through the park to rouse any stragglers.

Now that I have been there, I’ll answer this for anyone who, like us, finds themselves with a Jeep-load of camping gear and no available campsites in Valley of Fire State Park (VOF). If you can’t find a spot, the closest and free option is Poverty Flats, just off Highway 169 in Moapa Valley. The camping here is not ideal, there is no available water and there are quite a few trailers and RV’s running generators. However, there is a TON of space and it is very flat as the name suggests. Most importantly, you’re just outside the southern entrance to the Park. If you layover here, you can get to the camping areas within the park, and be there inside of 15 minutes. From what we observed, getting there at about 9 am you’ll see sites start to open up. If you stay vigilant, you’ll end up getting a site. Echo Bay is another option, but it isn’t ideal either. The lake has receded so much that you’re quite far from the water and it’s not picturesque. It is dry camping just like Poverty Flats, but it is further from VOF.
