Las Vegas Photo Gallery - Day Trip to Bryce Canyon

Las Vegas isn't all about gambling. There are a few national parks in the area with stunning natural scenery. Ideally, it's a full week driving a loop covering 4 of them, but I came at the last minute and alone, hence driving, paying the admission fees, and finding motels on short notice wouldn't be very economical.

Bryce, Zion, and Antelope all caught my attention as must-visits in the area. After a long but productive day trip to the Grand Canyon's South Rim, I set out looking for a smaller group tour that can cover the other national parks. I found one covering both Bryce and Zion in a day, costing $165. It would be another very early morning start.

Bryce hosts the largest collection of hoodoos in the world. From the vantage points, the flame-coloured spires are an amazing sight. It is also possible to walk into the amphitheater, although on a rushed day trip, I could only see the highlights and not venture around exploring too long.
