MOST PEOPLE ATTRIBUTE the Vegas experience with casinos, shopping and night life on the strip. This reputation overshadows Las Vegas’s prime location and proximity to some of the most amazing National Parks in the country. Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Lake Mead and Death Valley are all awesome day trips to take from Vegas.
Death Valley
Badwater Basin
Inyo County, United States
The salt flats in Badwater Basin are 282 feet below sea level. In the summer it is extremely hot walking out on the salt flats. It was about 115 degrees when I was there. Bring lots of water! The salt crystals are really a cool sight to see. If you want you can taste the salt. #nationalpark
Zabriskie Point
Inyo County, United States
Gorgeous lookout point over a very unique landscape composed of sediment from Furnace Creek Lake which dried up 5 million years ago.

This was one of my favorite spots in Death Valley. Absolutely stunning natural colors. Be sure to leave the lookout area and walk through the colorful hills. #nationalpark
Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes
Death Valley, United States
Amazing place to come for golden hour and sunset. It’s tough work walking along the dunes as your shoes fill with sand. #nationalpark #sanddunes

Home of the hoodoos! Hike all around these awesome tall thin rock formations. #nationalpark #hiking
Inspiration Point
Bryce, United States
You’ll find a bunch of these little guys chilling at the most scenic point in the park. You’ll have to walk up the hill a few minutes to get there but it’s absolutely worth it. #nationalpark #brycecanyon
Lake Mead
Hoover Dam
Clark County, United States
Incredible sight to see from below. The dam is built in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River on the border of Nevada and Arizona. It impounds Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States.
Colorado River
Clark County, United States
Rafting down the Colorado River was a highlight of my trip in Lake Mead. Don’t forget to stop and explore dozens on hot springs along the way. One of the hot springs is around 150 degrees Fahrenheit! #nationalpark #coloradoriver
