Zion National Park , Utah

Cliffside trails
After a few days of gambling , dining , shopping and non-stopping , you might be craving something more than a just quick day trip . For a hefty dose of much-needed silence and wide-open wilderness , we recommend one of Southwestern Utah ’ s most pristine areas : Zion National Park . Its namesake 15-mile Zion Canyon is only the beginning of the diverse terrain here . From dramatic switchback trails to panoramic plateaus , giant basins and hidden waterfalls , Zion National Park is a hiker ’ s paradise .
Embark on an adventurous scramble on the five-mile cliffside trail leading up to Angels Landing , a 1,488-foot-tall rock formation with panoramic views of the canyon below , watch the shadows shift from inside the dramatic sandstone cliffs surrounding the Court of the Patriarchs or feel the refreshing mist from waterfalls on the Emerald Pools Trails . Although the drive from Las Vegas takes less than three hours , there is enough to see and do here to span several days , so plan ahead .
