Spend the day exploring the wilderness and natural landscapes of Zion National Park and the Desert of Fire on this day trip from Las Vegas. Start your day heading north into Zion park. Enjoy the majesty of the mountains and the silence of the wilderness. Enjoy a tour of the area and a short walking trail along the Virgin river that runs through the park. As you begin to make your way back to Las Vegas, stop for a lunch break and then visit the “Valley of Fire,” Nevada’s first and most scenic state park. Marvel at magnificent red sandstone formations, created from shifting sands and dunes during the age of the dinosaurs more than 150 million years ago. Your 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). Then depart the park for an evening arrival back in Las Vegas.
