Bryce Canyon is beautiful. We parked in the all-day parking, took the bike/ walking path & road bikes to the trails and look-outs, so we didn't have to fight parking. They have bike racks at all of the viewpoints & stops. We locked our bikes and didn't have any problems. The hikes are really fun. We did Navajo loop. It was so magical. We took a backpack, lots of water, sunscreen, sunglasses and a lunch that we enjoyed down at the bottom in the shade. Go to the bathroom before you go down, cuz there are no toilet facilities @ the bottom. Visit the visitor center before you start to get a map and ideas of where you want to go talk to the rangers. They're very helpful.

🌿 Absolutely stunning and worth every penny! 🌿 Hanging Lake is one of the most beautiful hikes in Colorado. The trail is short and scenic, leading to a magical lake with turquoise water and cascading waterfalls. It feels like stepping into a hidden paradise. Reservations are required ($12 per person), which helps keep the area protected and peaceful. The path is rocky in places, so good shoes and water are a must. Don’t miss Spouting Rock just above the lakewater pours straight out of the cliff, and it’s unforgettable. Perfect for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone looking to recharge in a truly special place.

It is soooo worth the hike to Crater Lake! The trail is super rocky, good hiking shoes are a MUST but you will NOT regret the reward at the end. Reservations for the shuttle are easily made online and I highly recommend the shuttle.

Absolutely worth coming to check this place out. The rides were simple and fun. The cave tour was fun. The food was good enough. Don't expect nice restaurant quality food. But we enjoyed it. Draft beer was yummy. The views were absolutely beautiful and the gondola that takes you up there, was super super fun. The employees all were nice. We didn't find a rude person up there at all. The vibe was great. We stayed up there from open to close. Took our time experiencing everything and riding the rides several times. The gift shop has surprisingly fair prices. This place i would say is a must visit if you are in Glenwood Springs or near. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely come back when we can. Thank you.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison was one of the highlights of our road trip—absolutely stunning and so much more impressive in person than any photo can capture. It’s one of those places that doesn’t always get the spotlight like some of the more famous parks, but honestly, that’s part of the charm. It feels wild, quiet, and untouched in all the best ways. We visited during the off-season, which made the experience even better. There were very few people around, and we often had entire overlooks to ourselves. It gave us time to just stand and take in the incredible depth and steepness of the canyon walls—some of the most dramatic views we've seen in any park. We spent most of our time exploring the South Rim, and it’s perfect for families or anyone wanting a good mix of scenic stops and short hikes. Every overlook felt unique, and the drive itself is beautiful with lots of places to pull off and explore. The kids loved hopping out at each stop, and we loved how easy it was to navigate without feeling rushed. Even in the off-season, everything was well maintained. The ranger station was open, and the park was clearly cared for with pride. While we didn’t tackle any of the more extreme trails, the ones we did take were peaceful, rewarding, and filled with jaw-dropping views. This park has a quiet power to it. It's not flashy, but it leaves a lasting impression. We left feeling like we’d discovered something truly special—and already talking about when we can go back to see the North Rim. If you're anywhere near western Colorado, make time for Black Canyon. It's a gem of the national park system—peaceful, dramatic, and unforgettable.

Best place to park to ride the gondola, it's free!!!! This is also the best way to visit Telluride, since parking is so limited and expensive. Just ride the gondola into town

Rode here from Salt Lake City with a friend of mine and it was by far our best ride yet. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. The views were easily observable from the multiple viewpoints that you are able to pull onto during your ride / drive. We went at about 8:30AM on Sunday and only passed 3 cars the entire way and nobody was at the toll station to charge $20 for entrance (motorcycle).

What a beautiful place to visit. Make it a bucket list. The place I'm about to describe is truly a gem. It's a stunning destination that promises an unforgettable experience. Whether you're a nature lover or an adventure seeker, this place has something for everyone. Its breathtaking scenery and serene atmosphere are sure to leave you spellbound. I highly recommend adding this place to your bucket list.

We loved seeing this state park. It was beautiful. Located between Canyonlands and Arches, it gets lost in the mix but is well worth seeing. There were several interesting hikes but they mostly only offer different perspectives on the main site. We stayed in the Dead Horse Campground. Arrived at dark - bad idea!!! The morning revealed a beautiful large site with a weather-protected picnic table. The campground has a community dump station but only electricity at the sites. No water.

It's truly a magical place. Walking through the deep valleys is a wondrous experience, like a balcony suspended in the sky. Short climbs offer breathtaking views. At each stage, you'll find the history of your destination at the entrance. Sometimes it feels like you're not even on Earth. You can find a restroom at almost every point you visit.

I liked this park a lot. I feel like it’s a bit underrated compared to others in the area. We went on a weekend in late April and there weren’t too many crowds. There is no service so download your offline maps to stay prepared :) bring lots of water as the hikes do not have much shade

Out of the way but what an amazing stop. It was 80 degrees and felt like 68 with the breeze. Nice new visitors center, and incredible views. We didn’t have time to do any hikes this time, but have done them in the past and they provide more awesome views of the canyon and you pass some ancient trees. Worth the stop and worth going out of the way to visit. Our national park pass was good to get us in, so no extra charge!

One of the most inspiring places we’ve ever visited. We booked the 1.5-hour guided tour and had an amazing experience. The tour took us through this vast, beautifully maintained sanctuary, including stops at the pig area and the cat house. We even got to pet some of the animals, which was a real highlight. I’ve never seen a more impressive or well-organized animal welfare organization—the space is huge, and it’s clear the animals are incredibly well cared for. The guide was knowledgeable and passionate, making the tour both educational and heartwarming. Whether you love animals or just want to support a truly meaningful cause, this place is a must-visit.

Probably the coolest hike I've ever done! The epic views, sloshing through the water. The canyon walls get closer together the farther you go. There's a 20 foot section where you go waist deep in water so you have to lift up your backpack if you don't want it to get soaked. Most of the time the water is about up to your knees or less. You occasionally hike on land but make no mistake you will be walking through water most of the time. I did see rock jumpers about halfway into the hike jumping off into the river on a deep spot they found. The farther you go the less people you'll see going that deep in. Once you get past a certain point about 3 mile's in it's absolutely magical. We went in July in the summer. Make sure you arrive super early so you have time to make it back before the last shuttle leaves. Bring water & snacks and take lots of epic pictures because not everybody gets to experience this beautiful creation!

Billed as the most dangerous hike in USA , this is Zion’s iconic hike and also the most difficult to obtain a permit to access. It’s early Oct 2025 during the US Federal Govt shutdown and YES- NPS Rangers are still checking permits and don’t forget to bring photo ids as some who did. not bring ids had a difficult time with the rangers! The 8.7km hike is strenuous and requires climbing of 460m. The last km iwhich requires a permit checked at the entry point at Scouts Landing involves climbing narrow ridges while holding onto a chain. Please be patient and let oncoming traffic through! The views during the hike are spectacular. The bonus for the trip was the opportunity to see two California Condors soaring overhead. This is the largest bird in USA and was almost extinct with only 20 in the 1980s! They are now on the critically endangered having recovered to around 600 today. Bring water as it can be quite hot and enjoy the walk.

Well worth the drive! We went in October on a Wednesday and arrived at 9 AM and there were VERY few people there. No wait for the bus out to the Sky Walk. Great experience. Pay the $45 to get 16 professional photos taken of your group. He was hysterically funny! This was one of the highlights of our trip to the area!

Amazing views of such a majestic place. Ride the red shuttle all the way hermits rest. Every picture is a good one with the canyons in the back. Continue down for the long hike to the Colorado river , or just stop for a Picnic packed lunch . A few tables offer a a great place to eat and get photos. The red shuttle runs every 10 minutes however the mask rule is still ridiculous. Lots of squirrels and birds make it like a scene from Bambi . Do not feed! Don’t leave your bang unattended either as it may be ransacked by those little furry guys! Be sure to switch your camera to panoramic to get the best pics! Enjoy

Amazing! My initial thought was who wants to go look at rocks. We went to red rock canyon first and it was great. We came here the next day and it's even better. Much closer to it all here. They also have a military discount if you ask. If we make it back during cool weather we will probably try a few of the hikes. Just stopping at the various parking lots you have amazing views and photos can hardly capture the beauty. Must see in person, you will not regret it.

Love it here. The greatest engineering accomplishment period. Fun fact. First guy who died on this project had the same name as the last guy to die. They died on the same date - the year as well. The story of how they built this is just absolutely incredible. Need to buy tickets in advance to get down Area 51 like secured access road. Guided with Adventure Child

This was our first stop after landing in Las Vegas. It's a walkway bridge with stunning views of Hoover Dam. I was amazed to walk through the bridge as it is built so high on the Hoover dam that one can easily have a breathtaking view of the Dam. When you are standing at the center of the bridge facing towards the Dam then on your right side is Arizona and on the left side is Nevada state. You have to climb some steps from the parking lot to the bridge. When I visited it was so windy that I was getting pushed by the wind. So, before visiting check the weather advisory for the winds. Plenty of parking slots were available when I visited. They also have restrooms at the parking lot.

Crazy! Crazy yet. Extremely entertaining. Slightly rough on the edges but it added to its unique qualities. There was a moment in the evening when it was dark outside. They had amazing light show on the ceiling which was great fun and the music was just spot on for myself and my partner. The live entertainment is worth the visit. Food beers all cool and Harley would recommend the cheap gamblings casinos which was also entertaining

The High Roller Ferris wheel is an incredible experience and a must do for anyone visiting Las Vegas. The ride lasts about 30 minutes, offering plenty of time to take in the breathtaking views as you slowly ascend. Once you reach the midpoint and especially the very top, the panoramic scenery is absolutely stunning. I highly recommend experiencing it at night. Seeing the entire Las Vegas Strip illuminated with vibrant lights creates an unforgettable view that captures the city’s energy and charm. The ride itself is smooth, enjoyable and offers a unique perspective you can’t find anywhere else. If you’re looking for a fun and memorable way to see Las Vegas, the High Roller Ferris wheel is definitely worth it.

The Bellagio Fountain and Gardens are absolutely stunning! 🌸💦 The fountain show is magical — perfectly timed with the music and lights — and truly captures the spirit of Las Vegas. The Conservatory and Botanical Gardens inside the Bellagio are beautifully designed with seasonal themes and vibrant flowers. A perfect spot for photos, relaxation, and a bit of peace amid the Vegas buzz. Definitely a must-visit! 🌺✨

Absolutely Stunning and Worth Every Penny! Red Rock Canyon is hands down one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever visited! The $22 entrance fee was totally worth it — I easily spent 5–6 hours exploring, and honestly could’ve stayed even longer. The scenery is unreal — red rocks glowing in the sunlight, unique formations everywhere you look, and endless photo-worthy views. What I loved most was the freedom to choose your own pace. The courses and trails were super approachable — easy enough to enjoy without being exhausting, but still adventurous if you want to climb, bike, hike, or even run. You can really do whatever you want out there: explore the rock formations, have a picnic, relax, and soak in nature’s beauty. There are spots where you can sit and eat while taking in the incredible views, and the sunset there is magical — the whole landscape turns deep orange and pink. It’s such a peaceful and grounding place, perfect for nature lovers or anyone needing a break from the city. Whether you’re solo, with friends, or family, Red Rock Canyon is a must-see. Go early to make the most of the day, bring water and snacks, and don’t forget your camera — every moment here feels like a postcard! 🌄 There’s a Gift shop, visitors center for help or questions and bathrooms at each trail- ranging from easy to difficult.

Lowest place in the United States. It is very flat, with many areas having almost the same low elevation. In a cliff behind the parking lot, there is a sign that shows the sea level height. There is also an outhouse to go to the bathroom.

So beautiful! There’s so many different animals from all over the world. I think they did amazing with their conservation message. I was pleasantly surprised with how much space the animals had. It almost made me happy that I couldn’t see some of them. We were able to see keepers do training and talk with them as well. Overall super fun place!

The tram is a fun experience and lifts you 8500 feet above the desert to a much cooler environment. We hiked to the summit of San Jacinto. We moved fast but if you are going to hike be prepared with water and some food. Also be prepared to scramble up some boulders at the summit! The mountains are covered with a forest providing some shade. Wear good shoes for hiking

Delightful experience here with wife and family. We did some of the hands on experience which included close ups with the koala and also feeding another animal (zebra and also the one in our photo). While we are not zoologist, the animals did seem relatively comfortable and their enclosure decently large. We loved how clean the facilities were and readily available restrooms for those post meal needs. Walking around the whole place def takes a few hours and we love the themed atmosphere as well. Would def recommend people come here and also to the zoo. Both are world leaders in zoo keeping and a great place to see animals you may not see elsewhere.
