The deserts

1 Zion National Park
You can drive to Utah’s magnificent red-rock park in little more than two hours to enjoy dramatic scenery and breathtaking hikes.

2 Valley of Fire
Lurid desert scenery, bizarre rock formations and supremely remote hiking.

3 Grand Canyon South Rim
Seeing Arizona’s world-famous wonder makes a fabulous weekend road trip, but you can also fly there and back in a day.

4 Red Rock Canyon
Las Vegas’s great escape; hike and bike amid stunning red-rock sandscapes just twenty miles from the Strip.

5 Grand Canyon West
Venture out onto the Skywalk or take a helicopter ride down to the Colorado River; the West Rim is a pricey day-trip by air, but you won’t forget the adventure.
