National Parks
Zion National Park, about 150 miles from Las Vegas in Utah, features spectacular canyons and rock formations. They resulted from upheavals of the earth and erosion by flowing water and frost.
Further from Las Vegas is Bryce Canyon National Park, a 56-square-mile area of colorful cliffs created by erosion. Towering rocks worn to odd, sculptured shapes stand grouped in striking sequences.
Capitol Reef National Park, its elevation ranging from 3,900-8,800 feet, is composed of red sandstone cliffs capped with domes of white sandstone. It is in Utah's slickrock country, almost 400 miles from Las Vegas.
Canyonlands National Park, the other side of Utah from Nevada's border near Las Vegas, includes spectacular rock formations, canyons, arches, spires, pictograph panels, Puebloan ruins, and desert flora. The area is largely undeveloped.
