| Both times I have been to Zion Park in Utah, we have driven there from Los Vegas, Nevada. It's about a 2 1/2 hour drive and the scenery along the way is spectacular. Right before you cross the border out of Nevada, stop at one of the casinos in Mesquite and try out the buffets, we've been to several and they are really good. On interstate 15 out of Vegas, you cross into a tip of Arizona before you get into Utah. The drive along there is breathtaking. | ||
