Tour Zion Canyon From Las Vegas

If you are coming to Las Vegas for a vacation, you might want to consider allocating a little bit of that time to getting outside of the casinos and the restaurants in order to use your position to visit some of the greatest National Park spaces in the country. Many people are unaware that Las Vegas has a perfect position as a starting point for tours of national parks better situated in the southwestern United States specifically because of the same reason that Las Vegas became a popular city. Las Vegas is known for gambling and pursuing all forms of adult entertainment, but the reason that Las Vegas was born in the 1st place was because it was necessary to provide a destination where travelers could resupply and rest for a few days before continuing their journey. As people traveled across the Mojave Desert during their trips from the East Coast to the West coast in the late parts of the last century, they did not have the modern conveniences of being able to fly. In wagons that would be transporting their belongings from place to place, it took so long to get across the wide expanse of the Mojave Desert that there was a good chance you would not be able to carry enough supplies to make it all the way across the desert. The need for a place to restock and resupply was necessary for those making this dangerous trip, and a comfortable space where a person who had been traveling for many days in a row could get a good meal in a hotel room became a destination instead of simply a stopover. Las Vegas has grown to be something quite different than simply a place to stop during a trip, and now due to the ability to fly into a world class airport Las Vegas is now a perfect place to begin your trip to more remote areas. For this reason, Zion Canyon has become one of the most popular National Park destinations in the country.

While all national parks in the United States are beautiful and all have their own unique features that are going to attract specific people, one of the things worth noting is that Zion Canyon has become far more popular than most others. While there are no unique features that are going to specifically set Zion out as being better than the rest, what can be assumed is that the unique location being only 2 1/2 hours from Las Vegas is the attraction. When booking a tour of national parks that begin In Las Vegas, Zion Canyon is the most logical first stop due to the fact that it is located roughly half the distance that it is to other points of interest in national parks in the Southwest. This gives the ability to have a far more logical tour structure starting at Zion and then continuing on to other areas like Monument Valley or Bryce.
