Zion National Park Day Trip Guide from Las Vegas
In less than three hours and 165 miles, you can exchange the concrete and neon lights of the Las Vegas Strip for the serene and colorful landscapes at Zion National Park, established in 1919 as Utah’s first of five national parks. Along the way from Las Vegas to Springdale, Utah, you will drive through a few canyons carved out by the Virgin River. Once you get to Zion National Park, park your vehicle and ride on the free shuttles provided by the National Park Service. Essentially, you get a free guided tour through the park to top points of interest and popular hiking trails and vistas.
