 Red Rock Canyon |
State Route 159 from Charleston Boulevard (17 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip) Las Vegas, NV 89124 United States +1 702 363 1921 (Information) http://www.redrockcanyonlv.org/ |
RRCNCA, located just a few miles west of Las Vegas, is named for the deep red 3,000-foot-high sandstone cliffs that are perched above the dusty wastelands of this part of the Mojave Desert. The view from any part of the park is breathtaking: mostly nature fills the view, but from some points you can make out the entire Las Vegas Strip in the distance! If the temperature is extremely hot, climbing/hiking/bicycling throughout the park is not recommended; instead, opt to drive around the park (expect to pay a small fee for motorized vehicles) along a 13-mile paved loop. A visitor's center provides information on area history, geology, flora and fauna (visitors may encounter burros, big horn sheep or desert tortoises). You can also pick up a map of the park with detailed hiking routes (beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels). Rangers offer guided tours at no charge -- see website for schedules.

Valley of Fire State Park |
Interstate 15 North on exit 75, P. O. Box 515 (Six miles from Lake Mead) Overton, NV 89040 United States +1 702 397 2088 http://www.parks.nv.gov/vf.htm |
Spectacular red sandstone makes this a scenic desert wonder. This State Park has been a Nevada landmark since the 1930s, and is home to many desert animals. On the cave walls you will see Indian petroglyphs, still remarkably preserved after hundreds of years of erosion from dust and wind. The drive is just over 50-miles northwest of Las Vegas, and at sunset produces a memorable photographic opportunity. Check with the visitor center for details of the park, as well as souvenirs.

3629 West Hacienda Avenue Las Vegas, NV 89118 United States +1 702 895 6777 / +1 888 900 4480 http://www.pinkjeep.com/ |
The true majesty of Zion National Park is unveiled in spectacular fashion on Pink Jeep Tours, where you explore a region that the Virgin River has sculpted into a profound landscape masterpiece. This river was responsible for slowly paring through layers of ageless rock to produce Zion Canyon. Here, Mother Nature's artistry is evident everywhere you look. High plateaus, striking towers, temples, mesas, and the earth's tallest-known sheer sandstone walls surround you with their awe-inspiring beauty. You'll encounter breathtaking features at picturesque places like the Court of the Patriarchs, Angel's Landing, The Great White Throne, Temple of Sinawava, and Weeping Rock. Zion National Park is truly a photographer's paradise, where the vistas are stunning from every point on the compass. Tours last 9-10 hours. Review © 2009, Wcities |
