Tour Zion Canyon

When people come to Las Vegas for vacation one of the things that they will often do is begin to consider a tour to a National Park in the region. This is because Las Vegas vacations are generally indoor activities, the highlights of which our entertainment shows an gambling. these types of activities get boring quite quickly due to the fact that Las Vegas is actually dominated by the casino industry, which ultimately sell their products buy housing different forms of gambling inside of a facade that is easily changed out between casinos. What this translates to is that people get bored quite quickly once they realize that all the casinos are pretty much the same, just with a different theme at the entrance. People who have a propensity to love the great outdoors will quickly begin to consider other options to fill their vacation time, and they will also realize that Las Vegas is the perfect starting point for tours of some of the most spectacular national parks in the country. Almost any National Park that is situated in or around the desert in the American SW is perfect to visit from Las Vegas as the starting point. The city itself was designed to be central in the middle of the desert when people were crossing the Mojave on the way from the East Coast to the West coast at a time before airline traffic. The city itself was a place to stopover and resupply before continuing on your journey, but ultimately after airline traffic took the place of ground traffic, Las Vegas began to reinvent itself as a destination that was not only perfect for tourists wanting to experience the offerings that Las Vegas has to provide, but also using the city as a starting point for getting to a wide array of different points of interest in the desert.

Several years ago, national parks we’re seeing difficulties justifying their expenses with regard to upkeep because tourism was dropping. A large scale advertising campaign brought awareness of the national parks to people and tourism began to rise again, but Zion National Park benefited far more than the rest. Rates of tourism at Zion increased at a far larger rate than everywhere else, and the reason for this increase was due to the fact that Zion is located only 2 1/2 hours from Las Vegas as opposed to the 4 hours that you are going to need to get to almost every other National Park. Zion Canyon is a mix of white and pink sandstone cliffs as well as petrified dunes that tower upwards of 2000 feet above the Canyon floor. It is a fantastic mix of sightseeing and hiking opportunities, and is a perfect opportunity to experience one of the most beautiful areas on earth as part of a multiple park tour. the best tip that we can give is too book your Zion tour as part of a three day tour that will also visit Bryce and monument Valley in order to fully experience the difference is between these beautiful parks as well as maximizing the amount of time that is spent driving between areas.
