Valley of Fire State Park is the setting, and the landscape does most of the talking. The course runs through red sandstone formations that glow against the surrounding limestone hills, the kind of terrain that makes you forget your pace. It is open desert running, with the dramatic rock shapes pressing in close on all sides.
