Las Vegas  → Zion National Park → Valley of Fire → Las Vegas

We start our day heading north into Zion park. This park got its name from the Mormon’s who’s settled in the area. They gave it this name after claiming that visiting the park is like a religious experience, the majesty of the mountains and silence of the wilderness make you feel like you have been transported to another place. Tour the park and enjoy a short walking trail along the Virgin river that runs through the park.

As we begin to make our way back to Las Vegas, we stop for a lunch break and then visit the “Valley of Fire” Nevada’s  first and most scenic state park. Named for the magnificent red sandstone formations, created from shifting sands and dunes during the age of the dinosaurs more than 150 million years ago. Our visit is timed to be able to see the appearance of the valley being on “fire” when reflecting the powerful sun’s rays into the valley (weather permitting).

Depart the Park for an evening arrival in Las Vegas.
