Bryce and Zion Tours From Las Vegas
The national parks of the American southwest are some of the most beautiful spaces on the face of the earth, and each year millions of people make plans to visit them. There are limited amounts of parks that are nationally recognized in southern California and Nevada, consisting of Death Valley and Red Rock for the most part, so the majority of tourism traffic actually heads to the east of these states, landing in the cluster of parks that is found in Utah and Arizona. Because many of these places lie in close proximity to one another, it is common for people to schedule visits to several parks on the same trip, minimizing drive time by venturing out from a starting point and visiting the parks one by one based upon their proximity to one another. His fact makes it common to have “park pairs” where tourists choose two or three parks to visit during a single trip, which parks they are being decided by the city where the journey has begun.
Las Vegas and Salt Lake City are the most common destinations to begin national parks tours from, due to the fact that they are the closest major cities to the park clusters in Utah and Arizona. Las Vegas is far more popular of a starting point than Salt Lake City, because they both lie almost the same distance from Bryce Canyon, and Ls Vegas is half of that distance to Zion. Because Las Vegas is a major tourist hub on its own, which will provide more flight choices for better prices as well as far more hotel and restaurant choices for any budget. Another reason Las Vegas is more popular is simply because it is Las Vegas, and many will choose to have a few days in the city in order to experience it within the same trip.
Due to the fact that Las Vegas is a two hour drive to Zion and four hours to Bryce, one of the most popular tour routes is obvious. Starting your trip by flying into McCarran Airport and spending a day visiting Las Vegas allows you the rest and relaxation to start your trip. In the morning, many tour companies will begin the journey by picking their customers up at specific points or at their hotels, before beginning the drive to Zion. Because it is a short drive, you will be able to spend the majority of the day exploring Zions spectacular scenery before venturing off to Bryce as the next destination. Many who choose to do the driving themselves may turn back here, but we choose to typically venture on to Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon and the Grand Canyon over a three day period, simply because the drive between parks is far shorter than the drive from Las Vegas to any of them individually, and it would be a rare occasion that you have the chance to experience so much diversity over a short period of time in any other way.
