This small, off the beaten track state park has some amazing views, awesome scenery and is rarely crowded (at least during my visits there). Several movies and commercials have been filmed there, the most famous recent film is Star Trek Generations. The planet scenes in the movie featuring Captain Picard and Dr. Soran are shots from Fire Canyon and Silica Dome. An great view of Lake Mead can be seen from here too.
Pros: not usually crowded, great views
Cons: desert temperatures
