OVERTON. This grand geological park, located 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas, is Nevada's oldest state park. Its brilliantly colored sandstone formations were generated from 150 million years of weathering in the Mojave Desert. In fact, the park's name comes from the vibrant appearance of sunlight on the ruddy rocks. A visitor center acclimates folks to the onsite attractions and talks about the power of natural forces. Fifty-one campsites are available for an additional fee (first-come, first-served).
