Grand Canyon

Book it · 2–14 hrs

Bus, helicopter, or the West Rim Skywalk. The DIY drive is long — this is the one to let someone else handle.

Zion

Drive it · 2.5 hrs

The best day hike within range of the Strip. Angels Landing, the Narrows, red walls that don't quit. Skip the tour, just go.

Day-trip guide Book a shuttle →

Antelope Canyon

Book it · full day

You legally cannot enter without a Navajo-guided tour — so this one's a booking, not a debate. Pair it with Horseshoe Bend.
