It's a pretty intense journey, but it's a great way to see the must-visits in Las Vegas, its surrounding areas and neighbouring great parks. Two full days and four nights are planned in Las Vegas. Count between 1 500 and 1 800 km of road to travel, from Las Vegas to the Death Valley, through Valley of Fire, Zion NP, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon and Red Rock Canyon. It is better to prefer the offseason for this stay, it is very hot in this area in the summer and the ballades may be compromised.
