Leave Bryce, stop at Zion, arive in Vegas
Bryce Canyon and Zion are like sister parks, just 50 miles apart. At Bryce you park in the woods and walkover the canyon, at Zion you drive right into the canyon. Unlike any park you have been to on this trip the park facilities at Zion National Park are all based in the valley where you look up at dramatic peaks. Being an intimate canyon the park can have problems with traffic and at times they restrict car travel into the full park. After visiting Zion we hopped on the Interstate and landed in Las Vegas for the night.

A long tunnel cut right through the rock gets you inside the canyon.
A walkway runs along the river's edge with lovely ferns and other plants that enjoy this pocket of damp.
Leaving the park, Zion to Las Vegas 170 Miles.
After driving through the hills you come out into the desert and there is Vegas.
The pool area at the Mirage is very cool.
On our family trip west in 1969 we had dinner at Caesars Palace, on Cleopatra's Barge, foating in a cannal, while playing keno. That was living in 1969. I have always had a soft spot for Caesear's but I have not stayed there.
I have stayed at both Treasure Island and Mirage, I like that they are at a fun area of the strip and easy to get to and park.
