Park Features

 The Beehives in Valley of Fire State Park are unusual sandstone formations shaped by millions of years of wind and water erosion. These rounded, layered formations resemble beehives and are made from red Aztec sandstone—rock that was once ancient desert sand dunes compressed over time.

Their shape is due to a process called cross-bedding, where layers of sand are deposited at different angles by wind. Over time, erosion carved away the softer layers, leaving behind the beehive-like patterns we see today.

These natural features are not only striking to look at, but they also offer a glimpse into the powerful geological forces that shaped this region long before humans ever arrived.
