Near Zion National Park
Bryce Canyon National Park 87 km
Not a canyon at all but a row of huge natural amphitheatres cut into the edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. They are crowded with hoodoos, thin spires of red, orange and white rock shaped by frost and water, seen from a rim between about 2,400 and 2,700 metres up.
Horseshoe Bend 136 km
A horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River near Page, where the river loops right around a tall sandstone outcrop. From the overlook on the rim it is a sheer drop of about 300 metres to the green water.
Antelope Canyon 148 km
A slot canyon on Navajo land near Page, its narrow passages carved by water through sandstone that glows orange and purple when sunlight slants in. It has several sections, chiefly the Upper and Lower canyons, and is visited with Navajo guides.
Grand Canyon National Park 149 km
The national park around the Grand Canyon, the gorge cut by the Colorado River through northern Arizona and often counted among the wonders of the world. From the South Rim, bands of red and buff rock drop well over a kilometre and a half to the river below.
Grand Canyon Skywalk 151 km
A horseshoe-shaped bridge with a glass floor, cantilevered out over a side canyon at Eagle Point in the Grand Canyon West area. It opened in 2007 outside the national park, on Hualapai land, and leaves you standing on glass high above the canyon floor.
Valley of Fire State Park 162 km
Nevada's oldest state park, about 19,000 hectares of red Aztec Sandstone formed from shifting dunes 150 million years ago. The rock seems to burn when the sun strikes it, which gives the valley its name, and ancient petroglyphs mark some of its walls.
Hoover Dam 204 km
A concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the line between Nevada and Arizona, built between 1931 and 1936. It holds back Lake Mead, and a road runs along its crest from one state to the other.
Fremont Street Experience 224 km
A pedestrian mall over five blocks of Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas, the old Glitter Gulch of neon signs and casinos. A huge LED canopy roofs the street and comes alive with light shows after dark.
