Great NP, even during the shutdown. Visitor's Center was open and the shuttle was running (it ends October 19). Lots of varied hikes from 1 mile to some monstrous ones. Terrain was varied as well, some serious elevation changes and some paved accessible ones. Quite beautiful!

Bryce Canyon National Park is one of those rare places that feels almost other-worldly. The moment you step up to the rim and look out over the amphitheaters filled with thousands of vibrant red and orange hoodoos, it genuinely takes your breath away. No picture truly prepares you for how surreal and massive the landscape is in person. What makes Bryce especially memorable is how accessible its beauty is. You can catch incredible views right from Sunrise, Sunset, Inspiration, and Bryce Points, each offering a slightly different angle of the canyon’s maze-like formations. But the real magic happens when you hike down into the canyon. Trails like Navajo Loop, Queen’s Garden, and Peekaboo Loop let you walk among the towering hoodoos, weaving through narrow passages and tunnels carved by nature. It’s hard not to feel tiny, in the best possible way. Another highlight is how the park transforms throughout the day. Early mornings glow with soft gold light, afternoons bring out the rich reds of the rock, and the sunsets are phenomenal. If you stay after dark, Bryce is also one of the best stargazing locations in the country—its night sky is unbelievably clear. Whether you’re there to hike, photograph, or simply soak in the views, Bryce Canyon feels like stepping into a natural cathedral shaped by time and elements. It’s a must-see national park that leaves you inspired long after you’ve left.

Bryce Canyon is absolutely stunning. The landscape is filled with towering spires of rock called hoodoos in deep reds, oranges, and whites. The trails are steep, challenging, and completely worth it. Every turn opens up a new and breathtaking view. What makes Bryce Canyon so unique is that it isn’t a true canyon but a series of natural amphitheaters carved by erosion and frost. The park sits high on the Paunsaugunt Plateau, with elevations reaching over 9,000 feet at Rainbow Point. A few fun facts: The park covers about 35,835 acres (roughly 56 square miles). It has the largest concentration of hoodoos in the world. The colors come from iron oxide and other minerals in the rock. The contrast of light at sunrise and sunset makes it one of the most photographed places in Utah. If you love dramatic scenery and rewarding hikes, this is a place you’ll never forget. Five stars from start to finish.

Wow!!! Bryce Canyon is unbelievable its like another world! It gets real interesting fast when you enter red canyon going east on hwy 12. Those red rocks are amazing such deep red color. Then you get to Bryce and those deep red colors mix with the tan sandstone color all of it blends into a natural wonder! We had so much fun we traveled all the way down the canyon at Rainbow Point and enjoyed a nice picnic lunch. They have lots of picnic tables in this area and restrooms. Many roadside pullout areas and parking lots to get to all the viewpoints along the canyon. When traveling deep into the canyon the canyon dropoff is on both sides of you....quite a thrilling experience! I recommend getting to sunrise/sunset point as early as you can because it gets quite busy with visitors. Once you find parking there is nice large concrete walkway that join Sunrise and sunset points together.

We went in early November and the crowds weren't to bad. The visitors center was still open even with the government shutdown. The views were stunning and breathtaking. Wish we could have had more time to do some of the hikes but we will definitely be coming back to see more.

Breathtaking views! I think winter is the best time to visit as the hikes are doable (we did the 3 mile hike which made us sweat as well lol). The beautiful skies add up to the wonderful snow capped mountains which are visible even at greater distances.

Gorgeous. Don’t be afraid to go in a few basic hikes; they’re well worth it. Visit the welcome center and talk to one of the park rangers at a desk and get a plan for each day. Our ranger was very knowledgeable and was able to recommend specific hikes that were within our capabilities, including secret gems.

Visited this winery with a party of 5 and had a wonderful time! We arrived around 3pm and it wasn’t too busy, nice relaxed vibe. The views were just amazing! It was really quiet, no noise from the road. We opted to getting a few bottles to drink vs. doing the tasting and that was a really nice experience. Both wines we chose (whites because it was super hot) were great and we stayed till they were closing. This place is just gorgeous, great wine, and great service. Would go again and would highly recommend to others in the area

We LOVE Leoness!!! Every single wine they make is so drinkable from the Cellar series to their Farmer’s selections! We recently were in and tasted two Zinfandels and both were delicious, different, but so good! We ALWAYS love the compilations! My favorite thing to do (after tasting in the tasting room with Vicki) is to sit on the lower patio and just enjoy the view!!!

We came in during the weekend and Heidi was amazing! She was very knowledgeable on the wine and answered all the questions that we had about the wine and also the membership. Her customer service is excellent! We’re excited to come back and hopefully see her again! Will be recommending to family and friends.

Wine a was wonderful land our food was even better! Delicious Bluefin Ahi appetizer followed by Scollops and Hamachi. For desert the best Bread Pudding we have ever had!

There were 6 of us having a fun girls day in wine country and Leoness was our first stop. Jalynne was our server and she was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable! She made our visit so fun!! We had a great time!! Thank you Jalynne!!

Wow. Just wow. The atmosphere at this winery is truly beyond compare. The views are spectacular. The wines and variety of wines are not only extensive but exceptionally satisfying regardless of your preferences. The food is great, too! I had the burger which floored me because of the exceptional combination of flavors which complement each other exponentially. Definitely a place I intend to revisit!

Leoness was a sanctuary this Labor Day! Staff was amazing wine was excellent. Enjoyed most of our bottle on the upper patio. Enjoyed a great lunch at the patio restaurant. Mayra, our server, was pleasant, attentive and kind! Great couple of hours at Leoness!! Highly recommend!

These outlets are next to each other premium desert hills outlets and the cabezon outlets. Lots of different stores to do your shopping for all budgets. A few restaurants and eateries along the way. Plenty of parking but can get busy. You'll find some discounts in some of the stores. The premises are kept neat and clean restrooms available too. A nice walk with beautiful views of the mountains and sunset. Some art work throughout. Will definitely return.

Absolutely a must stop on the 10 fwy if you're driving to and from los angeles to palm springs. Pretty much all name brands are here. Roomy walkways. Plenty of restrooms and parking. Clean, luxurious and modern shopping.

It's so nice shopping in this area. The stores are very clean and the sales clerks are very welcoming and polite. It's nice to be able to step outside and get a breath of fresh air when going to the next shop

Beautiful outlet that we randomly decided to stop buy on our trip back from Palm Springs glad we did much nicer than the one in camarillo which was really surprising very clean huge variety of stores might be my new favorite outlet to go to now!

Last time I visited this place was 2015, how time flies! It is completely different now and I do think the selection of brands shrinks quite a bit. I’m here for the billabong outlet shops but unfortunately it is closed but not correctly marked in google maps. I hope there are more shops for food and drinks. The Starbucks gets overcrowded because a lack of coffee shops & bubble tea shops. It gets overheated at noon and it’s easy to get dehydrated. When everyone wants a iced drink Starbucks become almost the only shop that you can get a refresher from

Desert Hills Premium Outlets has all the major designer stores — Gucci, Chloé, Celine, Tom Ford, and more — so it’s a great place if you’re looking to do luxury outlet shopping. Some stores had long lines while others had none. We came across the Valentino store, and it was the only one where the front security wasn’t pleasant. There was only one customer inside, no line at all, yet he still told us to “wait in line” because they were helping someone. It felt unnecessary and a bit rude, especially when the store was basically empty. It came off like he just wanted to make people wait to feel important. Because of that, we decided not to go in.

First time visiting. Lots and lots of stores to shop from very enjoyable to walk-through especially at night time. Lots of restaurants and parking spaces as well. They even have a McDonald’s close by and it’s a great for kids because they have tablets on the tables for them to play with while the adults catch a breather. I highly recommend it now we return.

The place says it's open, google says they are open, well after a 1 hour drive, I found out that this place was "temporarily" closed. This is the most dead mall or should I say area I have ever seen in my life. I still do not understand how some stores/buildings are even open! Its too bad they cut off that mall section, I would have loved to just take a look around. What a waste of time, unfortunately!

I've encountered a few dying malls in the past few years (casualties of COVID and shoppers moving to online purchasing) but this mall is completely dead. There is literally a single store (Sanithrift, a thrift store) still open, to include a completely vacant food court. The store faces are now used to display art, which is good but not worth a stop.

Highly recommend to visit! You will see amazing artwork there! I cannnot believe there is only one clothes shop left here.

I dont know how to rate this place, it used to be so full and vibrant and was an amazing stop on the side of the road.. now it is still and empty. Michael kors and a Thrift shop are still open inside of the mall at this time, but that is it. Bathrooms are still functional, and clean.

** Really fun walk if you have time to burn at the supercharger! ** Model example of physical depression. Honestly such a cool space! Walking through was a lot of fun but for very different reasons than the owners would like. This is the legal way to walk through an abandoned building! 😂 the art made it feel doubly so. I counted 7 stores “open”. In quotation because none of them were actually open and a few looked like they haven’t been open in a while. This place is just begging to be a ‘con of some kind. Comic-Con, anime-con I don’t know but something! It would be a great layout and no stores to get in the way. I plan on watching to see when the building is closed for good. Too bad.

This mall is very empty since covid affected its business. I thought it was cool walking through the mall as it gives off a vibe of being in a deserted city. There are maybe 5 or more retail shops here? I didn't count them. I enjoyed taking photos of this place.

Almost no shops are open, no decent food to eat. It's like a ghost town... UPDATE; I was here a couple days ago, at 11:30 AM, June 6, 2024. The doors are open, the lights are on. There are NO shops open. There were NO people in the building, except 2 young women who were amazed by the emptiness of the place. The mall is nice and clean, including the newly renovated bathrooms. It seems the owner can afford to keep this place open only because he charges $1,50 per gallon more for gas than it costs 25 miles up the road.

A great spot for photos and videos! “Seven Magic Mountains” is a free public art installation by Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone, located in the Ivanpah Valley desert about 10 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip. It’s easy to find, parking is simple, and entry is free. We visited from Florida while staying on the Strip — definitely worth the short drive for the colorful desert views and unique photo opportunities.

✨ Only those with an artistic heart can truly appreciate such beauty- seven magical, colorful stones standing tall amidst a silent desert, surrounded by mountains. It’s mesmerizing to witness art blend with nature’s calm. Loved capturing every moment in this vivid oasis of color and serenity. 🎨🌈🏜️ 💡 Tip: If you’re going by Uber, ask your driver to wait for your return pickup. It might save you from paying extra for another ride later- most drivers are happy to wait for a small charge while you enjoy your time there. 🚗

Awesome spot in the middle of nowhere! But there was an ice cream truck there and you had to walk from the parking to the area! A lot of people Taking pics and videos but cool to see. There’s no sidewalk so it’s a dirt trail so make sure you’re wearing walking shoes..

Everyone's idea of art is different. This is a roadside stack of rocks that looks like it was painted by kindergarteners and they call it art. The artist, Ugo Rondinone's, book of work rings true the stones you see here. Child like vibrant colors with little vision or artistry drawing on the continued dumbing down of society and the diminished expectations of the viewer. As a people, we used to make beautiful things, now we stack rocks in the desert and paint them and call it art drawing thousands of people to see it; sadly me included. It's a very safe environment, with lots of different types of people stopping to check out and see what its about. There is usually a taco truck of some sort there to offer sustenance to hungry travelers. Me personally, I think that turning around and looking out into the desert is more beautiful than looking at these painted rocks. Go and enjoy!

Seven Magic Mountains, Ugo Rondinone's monumental art installation, is an absolutely stunning sight and a perfect, free detour from the Las Vegas Strip. Also the entry is FREE!! The experience is defined by the stark, beautiful contrast between the vivid, neon-painted stacks of boulders and the vast, untamed landscape of the Mojave Desert. The real star of the show isn't just the colorful rocks, but the immense natural beauty surrounding them. Looking out, the desert area looks amazing with rolling hills and a large, flat plain area that stretches for miles, offering unobstructed views of the distant mountain ranges. The entire setting is breathtaking and incredibly photogenic, making the drive completely worth it. It’s a powerful visual statement that brings together human creativity and the sublime quietness of the natural world, resulting in a truly beautiful view.

Such a neat place to visit. It’s definitely worth a visit if you have time to check it out. They were actually taller than I had imagined in person. It’s free and there wasn’t too many people. I would definitely love to come back soon.

A fun and colorful stop in the desert! The bright stone towers make for amazing photos, especially in the morning or near sunset. Free parking nearby, and usually not too crowded in winter. Quick stop, but worth it for the vibrant art and desert backdrop.

We had an amazing day at Red Rock! The weather was absolutely perfect for our visit. We packed a lunch and enjoyed it at one of the scenic picnic areas while taking in the incredible views and spotting some local wildlife. I brought my drone and captured some stunning aerial shots of different areas — truly breathtaking! Red Rock Canyon is a must-visit if you're in Las Vegas. It’s only about 20–30 minutes from the Strip, making it an easy and worthwhile day trip. Be sure to stop by the Seven Magic Mountains afterwards — it’s just about 35 minutes from the Strip and adds a colorful finish to your adventure.

Throughly enjoyed the drive through the conservation area. Excellent scenic stops along the 13 mile loop. Wish we had more time for the hikes and trails. Definitely could spend an entire day there. Wonderful views and opportunities for photos.

I missed you very close to downtown Las Vegas. Staff was courteous and friendly. We got great recommendations for hikes around the loop. Quite busy, but still, no one traveling off the beaten path. A gorgeous place to go and visit!

We recently went to Red Rock Canyon and I cannot count all the times we have been. I do know this was our 34th time to Vegas so Red Rock Canyon has to rank in the high 20's of times we have been here. If you want to be close to paradise and away from the maddening crowds and noise of Vegas this is the place to go. The visitors center is the first chapter to the wonderful, lasting, memories you will be making. Here you will obtain all the information about the area from an infomation booth, litiature to read, and they also have talks throughout the day from learning about different animals who make this area their home, how the parķ was made, and much, much more. A walking area at the visitors center allows you to see tortoises in their natural habitat as well. The 13 mile loop you drive around the area will litterly take your breath away. There is a million photo ops throughout the area. Seeing burros, big horn sheep, tortoises, and different bird species is another plus. My husband, grown daughter and myself feel very blessed we have had so many opportunities to see this beautiful National Conservatory area.

I’ve been here countless times. I grew up hiking the trails here and still do to this day. There’s something special about the Mojave Desert, and this park specifically. Some of my favorite day hikes are Kraft Mountain for when I’m wanting a fun scramble, Ice Box Canyon / Lost Creek after snow melt in the Spring for some water, and Ash Spring for a peaceful stroll with beautiful desert views. Sunsets here are incredible and the view of the Vegas Valley is great anywhere in the park. There are also a few picnic areas/tables. All in all, a gem in the desert.

Red Rock Canyon is spectacular, there are easy hikes, a beautiful one way drive or challe going hikes. There is even a waterfall just a short hike from a parking spot. The visitors center is beautiful and at the beginning of the drive. Don't miss it. No refreshments however so bring you picnic with you. They do free events as well like star gazing.

My brother and his friends brought me here for a morning road trip, and we did the bike trail before that. Such a beautiful, well-preserved area! The rock formations are stunning— definitely a must-see if you’re around Vegas and looking for nature activities. 🌄

Crowds permitting, this is a beautiful place to walk through. I love how it's always changing. The smell is pleasant, and you can really feast your eyes on all the flowers and sculptures. I also appreciate how the fountains use recycled rain water (I should have taken a picture of the sign for the specific).

The Bellagio Conservatory feels like something straight out of one of my thriller novels. As a thriller author, I’m always drawn to spaces that mix beauty with tension, and this one has that quiet, cinematic energy. It’s controlled chaos in a story. When I visited in November, it was set up with beautiful autumn colors. There’s a spitting frog, a pool with owls, and a giant green pumpkin surrounded by elegant place settings. Everything is absolutely stunning. It’s always busy in the evening, and honestly, I’ve never been here when it wasn’t. The main center display is incredible, showing off rich fall tones and detailed seasonal art. This is one of those places where you can’t help but stop and take it all in. Walking around the base display, there’s a huge tree and the massive pumpkin near the café area. Too bad the café seating isn’t open, because I’d love to sit there and work on one of my thriller novels. I took a slow-motion video of the owls perched beside the pumpkin, and another of the water fountain flowing from the pumpkin itself. The Bellagio Conservatory is one of those Vegas sights that never disappoints.

The Bellagio Conservatory is a true oasis in the middle of the Strip! The seasonal floral displays are absolutely stunning — every detail is beautifully designed, with vibrant colors, creative themes, and larger-than-life arrangements that change five times a year (Spring, Summer, Harvest, Winter, and Lunar New Year). It’s free to visit and open 24 hours a day, though early mornings or late evenings are the best times to avoid crowds. The combination of flowers, sculptures, and soft music makes it a peaceful escape from the Vegas bustle. Truly a must-see attraction inside the Bellagio — perfect for photos and a quick break between casino lights and shows. 🌸🌿✨

It was truly amazing. We were lucky to be there the last weekend of the fall display. It was so beautiful. And a bonus that it's free to walk through. It's a must stop!

A must-see Vegas tradition! The Bellagio Conservatory is always stunning — it’s free to wander and perfect for taking photos or videos. Yes, it gets crowded, but it’s absolutely worth it. We visit every year, and the displays never disappoint — the flowers and seasonal décor are always breathtaking. If you have even a little extra time in Vegas, make sure to add this to your list. It’s one of those experiences that truly captures the magic of the city!

This was absolutely stunning and one of our favorite things to walk-through each day. We saw gardeners in there each morning, tending to all of the magnificent plants and displays. They had a mushroom theme goddess garden going, and I was completely amazed.

Wow! A beautiful space to take pictures, walk around and enjoy the exquisite Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. Stunning stop by and enjoy the hard work and detail that goes into making something so magical for the public. I loved it! Something free to do solo or with family or friends.

The Fountains of Bellagio are hands-down one of the best free attractions on the Strip. The way the water, lights, and music come together feels theatrical every time—and you don’t even need to be a guest to enjoy it. What I loved: • The music pairings are tasteful and dramatic. • Shows run frequently (every 15–30 minutes), especially at night. • Best viewed from across the street or from a Bellagio fountain-view room. • It’s free, iconic, and always draws a crowd for a reason. A few small drawbacks: • Crowded during peak times—get there early for a clear view. • Sound quality can vary depending on where you’re standing.

The Bellagio Fountains are simply mesmerizing! 💦✨ Watching them is pure joy — the graceful movements of the water, perfectly synchronized with calm, soothing music, create such a magical atmosphere. The lights add an extra touch of beauty, making the whole experience unforgettable. It’s the kind of place where you can just stand for hours, letting yourself relax and soak in the serenity. I highly recommend visiting — it’s a perfect escape to feel calm and at peace.

The Fountains of Bellagio are one of those Vegas moments you just can’t skip. The show feels almost cinematic as over 1,200 water jets dance across the 8.5-acre lake in perfect sync with music and lights. The tallest bursts reach an impressive 460 feet into the air. It’s a beautifully choreographed display that turns a simple stop on the Strip into a memorable experience.

The Bellagio Fountains are, without a doubt, one of Las Vegas's most breathtaking and essential attractions. Seeing them in person is an entirely different experience than watching a video; the sheer scale, timing, and power of the show are stunning. The choreography, perfectly synchronized to diverse music, turns simple water into a majestic performance that feels genuinely emotional.

The Fountains of Bellagio are one of the most iconic sights in Las Vegas. Set in front of the Bellagio Hotel, the water dances in sync with music and lights, creating a magical show that feels different every time. It’s free to watch and always draws a crowd, making it a must-see on the Strip. The atmosphere is romantic and exciting, whether you catch the show during the day or at night when the lights make it even more stunning. It’s the perfect spot to pause, take in the view, and enjoy a little Vegas magic.

love the fountain show 🥰 viewed 3x (coz we had to go look for a better view). super crowded but it’s outdoor so it’s fine. worth the long walk (from the treasure island). amazing!

I didn't stay at the Bellagio which is why I am giving it a 4 star. However their flower show was awesome and the pastry from the pastry shop was amazing. Which they had more options but what they had was great. Did water fountain show outside the Bellagio is great to watch but make sure to get a good spot early.

High Roller Las Vegas Review – A Must-Do Scenic Ride on the Strip I recently had the chance to ride the High Roller Observation Wheel in Las Vegas, and it was truly a memorable experience. Located at The LINQ Promenade, this 550-foot tall attraction offers one of the best panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip and beyond. What I Enjoyed: Breathtaking 360° Views: From the top, the views of the Strip, city skyline, and surrounding desert landscape are absolutely stunning ,especially during sunset. Relaxing and Smooth Ride: The entire rotation takes about 30 minutes, giving you plenty of time to take photos and enjoy the scenery without feeling rushed. Spacious, Comfortable Cabins: The cabins are air-conditioned, clean, and spacious, offering a comfortable ride even in peak Vegas heat. Family-Friendly and Accessible: It’s a great activity for all ages , calm, scenic, and perfect for couples, families, or solo travelers. Pro Tips: Visit at sunset or after dark for the best combination of city lights and desert sunset. Book tickets online to skip the lines and possibly save on pricing. Bring a good camera or phone, the photo opportunities are fantastic, especially from the top. If you’re looking for a relaxing and scenic activity that showcases a different side of Las Vegas, the High Roller at the LINQ is definitely worth adding to your itinerary. Rating: 4.8/5 High Roller Las Vegas Observation Wheel Las Vegas Las Vegas Strip views Scenic things to do in Las Vegas Family-friendly Vegas attractions Best views in Las Vegas

We really enjoyed our experience on the High Roller - the views of Vegas at night are hard to beat! This is roughly a 30 minute ride in a spacious pod with 360 degree views. The pods move smoothly and slowly so you will not notice the movement. If you are trying to keep the party going while onboard, they offer drinks before you board - at elevated prices. Keep in mind that they do bag checks before you enter, so you are not allowed to bring in outside drinks. The only negative is that they had us enter and exit the pod while the pod was moving, which seemed a little sketchy to me. One miss step could mean a guest falls off the platform. I did noticed that they stopped the pods for some guests, though. The pods move really slow, but the risk of a fall is still there. The overall experience was too good to knock the rating. If you are staying at a Cesars-run hotel and have not signed up for the rewards program - do it! My tickets were free as a new member of the program.

It's interesting. Slow and steady. We went during daylight hours so we could see the mountains in the distance. At night it might be more exciting to see the lights. It was a 30 min ride but felt quick. It was roomy in there. The two of us were in there with 5 others. Plenty of room for people to move around and take pics and not feel crowded. We brought our own drinks with us but there was a bar right before you get on. I think we paid $22 each. I'm not sure I would say this is a must-see but it was interesting enough for something to experience while we were in Vegas

This is definitely a must-visit attraction when you’re in Vegas! I highly recommend going at night the view is absolutely stunning with all the lights from the Strip glowing below. I got two tickets through Groupon, which was super easy and convenient, and the whole experience was well worth it. When we went, there was a family with little kids who were a bit loud and energetic just being kids so that was a small distraction. But aside from that, I really enjoyed the experience. Once you’re up there, you get an incredible panoramic view of the entire Strip and beyond. Seeing all the hotels, lights, and energy of Vegas from above is something you really can’t describe until you experience it yourself. If you’re planning a trip to Vegas, make sure to add this to your list it’s one of those experiences that gives you a whole new perspective of the city and makes for some amazing memories (and photos, too!).

We bought tickets online ahead of time from Groupon and just had to show out passes and got right on- no wait. We went during a Friday around 1 pm and got right on the ride. Also the ride overall takes about 30 minutes to complete which is so nice. The view from the top overlooks and it taller than most casinos. I would definitely go again and recommend it. It’s worth the price.

The High Roller Happy Half Hour is hands-down one of the fastest ways to get a strong buzz in Vegas. If you have a Caesars Rewards card, you can usually grab a deal on the regular ride and then upgrade to the open-bar cabin for around $25 — easy win. Great for a group of 5–10, especially around sunset or after dark when the Strip looks insane from up top. Our bartender was on it the whole time and even snapped some great photos for us. If you want a fun, quick, no-effort pregame in the sky, this is the move. Highly recommend

This was a cool experience. We got the tickets for the bar car. There’s only one bar car so we waited for a while for the car to come around and you also go with other groups. About 20 people were in ours. Offers great views of the strip. Would recommend.

We had a blast. So full of people, music and lights. It was great. Awesome place to people watch, we don't drink or gamble so we just walked the street and we're blown away by everything there is to see. My husband bought an amazing painting off of one of the street artists. It was just a lot of fun, especially if you come from small town like I do and don't get to see this type of thing often.

Definitely worth checking out, but I must warn you that many of the casinos and street stores here evoke a nostalgic feeling for a reason. They’re not like the newer part of Vegas or the heart of the strip, but if you’re seeking a glimpse into the past, perhaps 3040 years ago, this is the place to be. One must-try is the outdoor circuit bar, where they still perform flare bartending, a skill that’s hard to find elsewhere in Vegas. I believe there’s also zip-lining available, and part of the street is covered with an LED ceiling, complete with a stage for live music, which I think is part of the Atomic Saloon. Overall, it’s a must-visit, but it could be something entirely different. I would like to see it more devoted to live music and live entertainment . The street performers are the heart of the place, so make sure to support them.

Wow—what an unforgettable experience! Fremont Street Experience is pure Vegas magic! The lights, the music, the energy—everything here is absolutely electric. The canopy light show is breathtaking, and the live bands keep the vibe going all night long. I loved the mix of classic Vegas casinos and modern street entertainmen.it’s like stepping into the heart and history of the city all at once. Everywhere you look, there’s something exciting happening. If you want to feel the true spirit of Las Vegas, this is the place to be! Love from Canada 💕😘

The ambiance here is fantastic, feeling more accessible and less pretentious than some areas of the Strip. You'll find live bands playing on multiple stages, often featuring high-energy cover artists that keep the crowd dancing. The street is also famous for its incredibly diverse and often bizarre street performers (be aware that tipping is expected if you take photos). It's a non-stop carnival atmosphere.

I had come to the Fremont Street Experience for many years. My experience is getting better and better. I finally feel that Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas is better than the Strip. I think I will book a hotel in the Fremont Street area next time when I come to Vegas. The Fremont Street Experience is fun, with more activities and even livelier than any other area in Vegas. I enjoyed the nightlife here. I like the stores, bars, restaurants, and casinos here more.

We came through on the Big Bus tour but we did not get to stop. From what we saw it will be an awesome adventure in the future. The place was bright and lively. We drove right down the middle and under the huge ceiling video screen that stretched what seemed to be as far as we could see.

Fremont Street is a must if you’re in Vegas for the first time. Cheap gambling, nonstop entertainment, and people-watching that deserves its own documentary. You will absolutely see something unforgettable — maybe even something you wish you hadn’t. I’m pretty sure I saw the best magic of my life here from about five feet away. Tip your street performers. They earn it. Go at night for the full effect, stick to the classic casinos for better odds, and keep your wallet close. If you want pure, unfiltered, chaotic Vegas energy, Fremont is it.

Had a great time at the smx final. The track was big, they had screens to see what was happening out of sight. Was able to bring in water and some snack so that was very nice. Well run event. Lost one star for getting out of the event. Very little traffic control. Took 45min to an hour to get out. Park near the exits!

This was my first nascar event ever attending. Great facility very clean, and even with a packed stadium it felt very open. Wheel chair and walker easy accessible ramps to get to any level. A lot of great venders. Fun family friendly atmosphere!

Great Racetrack, Disappointing Concessions Our recent trip to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway was a fantastic experience overall. We had seats in Sec E row 64 awesome seats, which provided an excellent vantage point of the track. The facility itself is impressive, clean, and well-organized. Watching the race was an incredible thrill, with great sightlines and an electric atmosphere that you can only get at a live NASCAR event. The sound and speed were amazing, and we have no complaints about the racing action or the venue itself. However, the experience was significantly let down by the food and concessions. While we expected "at the track" pricing, the costs were truly excessive. We paid a premium for all our food and drinks throughout the day. To make matters worse, the service portions were very little for what we paid. It was disappointing to spend so much and receive such small amounts of food. It felt like a poor value, which put a damper on an otherwise perfect day. In short, while the Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a top-notch facility for racing, I would strongly recommend eating a big meal before you arrive or being prepared for extremely expensive food and very small portions.

Awesome race day as always!y driver finished 3rd 🥉 We tailgate before and after the race to avoid traffic. You can meet your driver in the Fan Zone before the race. There are plenty of vendors with free swag! Which makes for a fun time!

Great race ,but $14.00 beers should be cold and ride share was a nightmare ( got dropped 4 times and there were numerous ride sharing people price gouging. 100-180 a person) definitely know why now. There were so many seats available. The shuttle service was 100 per person

Our first time here was a learning experience. A lack of signage in the parking areas and seating area made finding out Nascar seats difficult. Compared to other venues in Kansas City and Dover, it seemed like the venue was past its prime and needs a refresh. Pros = Free parking is available. Assigned seats. Cons = We walked a half mile from parking to the only gate that was open, then walked another quarter mile to the end of the stadium where we were seated. Once there, a family had decided to sit in our 4 assigned seats. They did not offer to mo e but told us we could sit further down the row where they had purchased seats 😐. Where we were seated in "family pack" section where 4 tickets were 79.99,, the audio was difficult to hear, display was small and could not be seen, and smokers were smoking next to us. When we departed after the race, there were no signs guiding people to the separated VIP/handicap or General parking, but these lots were divided by a chain link fence. Many of us walked quite a ways before realizing we could not get through to the other side unless we backtracked. With improved signs and some helpful event staff, things like this could be avoided and add to the enjoyment of the event.

This definitely has got to be one of the funnest experiences I've had. Went here for NASCAR cup series in 2025 and it was amazing. The fan experiences they had were so much fun and the merch was amazing. We sat down towards the wall itself and got the neon garage experience. Being so close to all the action was really mind blowing and gave me a new appreciation for racing as a sport. The neon garage was very cool to go to. You get to look in and watch the teams work on the cars and get access to the paddock where they interview them pre-race. Parking was good, but it's a bit of a nightmare to get out, so be prepared to sit and wait for a little. Other than that, highly recommend coming here to watch NASCAR or any other race they put on.

Don't look down. It would be a big fall. There can be gust of winds. It's a big climb to get to the bridge. Honestly pretty cool bridge. It can be quite hot up there. Bring water because you will need it on the hike.

Amazing viewpoint connecting Nevada and Arizona! The bridge offers a breathtaking overlook of Hoover Dam and the Colorado River below. Short hike from the parking area to the viewpoint with clear signage. Windy up there, so hold onto your hat! Definitely worth the stop.

The Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, also known as the Hoover Dam Bypass, is located along US Highway 93 at the Arizona/Nevada state line. Its official address is 27953, 28689 Great Basin Highway in Boulder City, Nevada. This bridge spans the Colorado River after water passes by the Hoover Dam power generators and spillways. It was built to divert traffic that used to drive along the top of the Hoover Dam. There is a pedestrian path along the bridge and its wall does a pretty good job blocking the view of the Hoover Dam from vehicles driving the across the bridge. I have not walked across the bridge, but I understand that it provides a great vantage point to view the Hoover Dam. This arch bridge sits 890 feet (270 m) above the Colorado River. Like every bridge, it will flex and sway from traffic driving across the bridge as well as wind passing through The Black Canyon of the Colorado. This sway is intentional as a rigid structure would be damaged by the forces exerted upon it.

After our Hoover Dam tour, we moved our car to the free outdoor lot (Boulder Dam Bridge Parking) and walked the Mike O’Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. You can visit the bridge before or after the dam, but if you’re joining a tour, it’s best to do the tour first in the morning and save the bridge walk for later. This massive bridge connects Arizona and Nevada, built to ease traffic around the dam. It opened in 2010, is 1,905 ft long (579m), 890 ft high (270m), and is the 2nd tallest bridge in the U.S. and it even won a bridge design award in 2012. It’s named after: • Mike O’Callaghan, Governor of Nevada (1971–1979) • Pat Tillman, an NFL player who left his career to serve in the military and died in action in 2004. You can walk across the bridge to get amazing views of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. You might feel the bridge slightly sway( something to keep in mind if you’re afraid of heights). We visited in late March and it was super hot and dry (over 30°C / 90°F), so definitely bring a hat and water. The bridge isn’t long, but with no shade, it feels intense under the sun. If you have a free day in Vegas, this side trip is totally worth it!

This was a part of my tour called Grand Canyon West, Hoover Dam skywalk tour. Definitely do if you’re able to withstand the heat and the walking.

The lynchpin of a very important bypass of the Hoover Dam. Quite the engineering marvel. The bird's-eye view of the dam is unparalleled. Several placards on the way briefly describe the process to build the bridge. Popular with visitors.

One of the best structures built. Beautiful view of Hoover dam and nice walking path.

America is great. What a sight. What an accomplishment. It is always a must see. You can now drive across the dam again. Also can walk across it. Tours are first come first serve. So you get there and get in line and then get assigned a time. The view from the bridge is also spectacular.

Love it! Absolutely massive and breathtaking! One of the most incredible sites I’ve ever visited. The scenery is stunning from all perspectives, the engineering is mind-blowing, and it’s such an impressive place overall. 100% worth the trip.

Great place to visit, entrance and parking is free. However, DO NOT go into the visitor center because they have ticket ranges from 15 to 40 dollars for exhibitions which last five minutes. Don’t waste your money on that, just walk outside and enjoy it thete

An absolutely breathtaking engineering marvel! As an engineer, I was truly amazed by the incredible architecture and precision behind the Hoover Dam. The massive structure, the surrounding scenery, and the sheer scale of this monument are mind-blowing. It’s a perfect tribute to the brilliance of civil engineering and a symbol of human innovation. Just 40 minutes from Las Vegas, this place is a must-visit — the views, the backwaters, and the overall experience will leave you speechless. Don’t miss the chance to witness this masterpiece of engineering excellence!”

I had seen multiple pictures of this dam and thought it was big, but this thing is HUGE!!! We did the tour that took us down inside and that was very informative. It’s also very interesting looking around in the museum and seeing all things they used and how they built it. Definitely a cool place to visit!!

Hoover Dam is an engineering marvel showcasing human ingenuity and strength. The view of the Colorado River from the top is breathtaking. A must-visit landmark that beautifully combines history, architecture, and nature.

Seeing the Hoover Dam was amazing. I'm glad I got to experience this place. Was free to walk around and take pictures but if you choose to you can pay to take the tour at a reasonable price.thwees also a gift shop and diner on sight with free parking.

What a magical place. We did two trails over the span of around 3 1/2 hours: the short but scenic Mouse’s Tank, and the iconic Fire Wave/Seven Wonders Loop. Both provided different experiences, views, and difficulty levels, but I feel like there still lots more to see!! Even just driving through the park, you get incredible and genuinely jaw-dropping views of the rock formations. Absolutely blew my expectations out of the park, and the new visitor center looks super cool too! The current visitor center has some cool displays and a nice little gift shop in the middle. I recommend getting here either very early or towards sunset, as there not a lot of shade and, even in cooler temps, the sun can be brutal. Please check this wonderful place out.

Writing a “review” of the Valley of Fire feels a bit like rating the sun. Or giving three stars to gravity because it’s “a bit much sometimes.” The place doesn’t care what I think. It’s been here for 200 million years, unbothered by human opinion, Google reviews, or the existential unraveling of anyone who visits. And yet here I am, typing earnestly into the void about how it made me feel small in the most reassuring way. The Valley of Fire exists on a timescale so immense that our entire lives do not even register as a blink. While we are born, grow up, agonize over career choices, stress about emails, and die — these rocks just… exist. They are steadfast and exist outside our timeline, the changes measured in geological rather than biological time. And somehow that’s comforting. There’s something deeply soothing about knowing the universe isn’t keeping track of our daily panic. Standing among those rust-red cliffs and formations, I felt every melodramatic human emotion: awe, insignificance, reverence, and an odd sense of relief that my to-do list, my one sided feud with my neighbor (true story), my overthinking… none of it matters here. The Valley of Fire is the ultimate reality check wrapped in beauty: a place where the universe pats you on the head and says, “Sweetheart, relax, it’s really not that deep.” So yes, five stars. Would recommend. Bring water, snacks, and a healthy sense of humility

Awesome park to visit, this place had a few stops with petroglyphs that were neat to see. The visitor center was cool and the staff were fun and helpful of cool thing to see in the park. Most of the hikes were easy and well marked. Family friendly even for littler kids to go on. Would recommend visiting!

Lots to do and beautiful hiking trails. Highly recommended! There are a variety of rock formations that you could spend hours enjoying the view and nature. As always, remember this is located in the middle of the desert, always bring more water than you need on your adventures. There is a visitor center in the park which offers small snacks and beverages, as well as souvenirs!

Beautiful place to explore with short little hikes. What they’ve changed in the last 2 years is requiring photo permits if you’re not in walking or hiking outfits. Also no longer can you park on the road and look at the views. Parking is limited in some popular hike trails. It’s hot during summer and don’t underestimate the heat.

Absolutely stunning! The red rock formations glow under the sun and change color throughout the day. Don’t miss short hikes like Fire Wave (1.5 mi), White Domes (1 mi loop), and Mouse’s Tank (0.7 mi). One of the most beautiful parks near Vegas — nature at its best! I would always skip Vegas and just go here!

I've been meaning to visit this state park for years. Very happy to have made the drive up from Vegas. Scenery is dramatic and beautiful. Also I was not expecting to see Bighorn Sheep! I plan to come back when I have more time to hike. Note, many trails are closed in summer.

We stopped by the St. George Temple while passing through town on a road trip, and we’re so glad we did. The temple is even more beautiful in person than in the photos—its architecture and craftsmanship are truly impressive. It was a peaceful and inspiring place to stretch our legs and take in the work of generations past. A worthwhile stop if you’re driving through the area.

I came here when a really good friend got married last year. St George is a very unique place. It's right in the middle of a rocky Arizona and mountainous Utah. The combination is like nothing else. The temple is also very attractive. It was one of the first temples ever built and you can feel the nostalgia at the temple.

Even if you're not a member, you can learn so much from the visitor center! This is my childhood Temple! I love the spirit that I feel here. Growing up before I could go inside, I still felt the peace. Now that I've been able to make promises with God and grow closer to him as well as help my ancestors do the same, I feel so much more connected to this house of the Lord!

A Beautiful LDS Temple and house of the Lord. Wander the grounds, enjoy it's beautiful peaceful feeling.

Great experience with our family visiting this beautiful historic landmark. The visitor center next to the temple is perfect, if not of the LDS faith, to learn about the pioneers that settled and built this temple back in the mid 1800s.

Insider POV: I was LDS for 37 years. When you become a Mormon, there are a lot of things they don't tell you about the temple: the veiled faces, chants, secret handshakes and passwords, weird outfits, and oaths. You have to give the church 10% of your money to go there- and if you don't give the church their $, you don't "get to be with your family forever." They hold your "forever family" hostage if you don't obey. They say they don't talk about it because it's "too sacred to speak of". And every week in church, they all talk about how great it is they are "gods chosen people". It's a beautiful building for sure... but if you think it sounds like it could be a cult... there are plenty of videos on YouTube that show what goes on in there and you can see for yourself.

A stunning Temple that is a testament of the dedicated and resilient pioneers in the late 1800's as well as a tribute to their incredible craftsmanship. I'm amazed how white the exterior is--truly beautiful. While entrance to the Temple itself is restricted to LDS faithful, there is a nice visitor's center with friendly tour guides ready to help.

We had an absolute BLAST! We went on the 4 hour sunset tour and are so glad we did. It was between this and another activity, and this tour did not disappoint! My husband and our friend voted this the best way to end our time in the area before returning home to Illinois the next day. Jack was an amazing tour guide full of knowledge and entertaining jokes. He made sure to explain things clearly (made this novice feel comfortable) and always made sure to watch the group to ensure everyone's safety! We can't wait to come back to Zion National park and bring our kids and will definitely plan to do this again!

My mom and I did the sunset-chasing ATV tour, and it was absolutely incredible! Our guides, Will and Dave, were both awesome — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience so much fun. Will went out of his way to make sure my mom was comfortable and confident the whole time, which meant so much to us. The sand dunes were amazing, and the views at sunset were just breathtaking — photos don’t do it justice. Everything felt safe, well-organized, and full of good vibes. We couldn’t recommend this experience more! If you’re anywhere near southern Utah, go see it — it’s an absolute must-do.

Dave was the best tour guide we have ever had!!! Me and my wife went with ATV offroad adventures and we are so glad we did. We highly recommend this experience for everyone. Jason the owner is a great guy and we enjoyed talking with him about the experience.

Absolutely amazing! I don't remember the tour guides name but he's leaving to be a boat captain in Hawaii. He was super relaxed and personable. Great method of taking beginners through a diverse landscape with plenty of local knowledge as well.

We had a killer morning on a guided tour with Jason. He showed us some incredible spots that were perfect for our skill level. Some rock crawling and some sand. The Can-Am machines we used were super sweet! I’ve been to hurricane 100 times but never knew what playground existed around us. Unforgettable experience!

We had such a great time with William as our tour guide through the Sand Hollow area! We used ATV Offroad bc they were the only outfitters that has single seat ATVs and, well, all five of us wanted to drive! We had a new rider and William, with the help of Dave, were very patient and helpful in making our new rider feel safe and included in everything. We loved that we made stops along the way to learn about the area and the geography, and bc driving for 4 hours straight would have been a little miserable. I HIGHLY recommend this company if you are going to rent ATVs or UTVs in the area. Thanks for a great time! Highlight of our trip.

We grew up in Saint George & decided to play tourist during our recent visit home. We booked an all day side by side tour with ATV Offroad Adventures after extensive research & recommendations from others. Our tour did not disappoint. The crew arrived timely & was chipper to get us underway. They had everything we could have thought of: gloves, glasses,helmets, & a really cool souvenir neck gaiter. Jack was an amazing guide, he is hilarious, knowledgeable, a great instructor ,courteous, & made our adventure so worth it. Safety always came First & our routes & expectations were always communicated very clearly. We rode through amazing dunes, banked turns and all different terrain. We got to stop and learn about the area where Jack taught us some awesome facts even our local family members didn't know. There were opportunities for our younger adventures to climb rocks & dig in the sand (with parental supervision of course)They provided lunch which was so much better than we expected (no PBJ's here) jack will gladly take your cookies off your hands is you don't want them. Everyone In our group enjoyed themselves from the 11 year old to grandparents. Thank you Jack for an unforgettable adventure. We will see you next time!

Yes, permites are challenging. That shouldn’t stop anyone. Go to their official website, create an account and hunt on Feb 1st@ 8 am. Long hike in and out (mules and helicopters out are available to those who need it). ‼️Pack EVERYTHING IN AND OUT, PLEASE! We saw people leaving their tents, sleeping bags and other stuff they didn’t want to carry out there. Please don’t do that. Nobody wants to carry someone else’s trash out. It will end up somewhere in the falls. Please care for nature! ‼️ Sturdy water shoes are needed. Playing in the water is must have, the surface is really rough. I got carried away and broke my toe 😂😂😂 There is a spring available for drinking water, still take filter with you, you never know! Campsites are all over the place, the coolest ones are to the right from the entrance closer to the creek. Red light headlamp was great to avoid mosquitoes and insects. Hydration pills for the long hike are good too! Hiking poles will save your knees (and your back probably)😎 Early in the morning it will be quite cold on top at the parking lot, don’t worry, it’s always warmer in the canyon. All the waterfalls are walking distance, I would take a day though to go to beaver falls and further, it can add up to 9 miles one way all the way to the end and 3 to beaver falls.

The grandeur of Havasu Canyon is captured beautifully in the legendary blue-green waters of Havasu Falls. Permits via the Havasupai Tribe website are needed to visit the area, and it requires a hike of around ten miles from the Hualapai Hilltop trailhead to reach this specific site, but descending from Supai Village and making the slight turn to behold Havasu Falls is a jaw-dropper — simply stunning and more than worth the effort. No matter how many treks you make worldwide, you’ll be hard pressed to beat the magnificence of this iconic waterfall!

Pretty spectacular falls. The sun starts to hit this fall early in the am. Water is warmest at the end of the day around 6pm when no one is usually around. You can go behind the waterfall if you’re good at scaling rock. There is a jump at the middle of the falls as well.

What a beauty! It's a paradise in the middle of the desert. It is situated in Arizona. To go there, you will require a booking of the lodging or a camp site. It's a lottery system to do booking. You can reach your camp site in three ways. 1. By hiking (about 11-12 miles) 2. By hiking but sending your luggage to the site using a mule. 3. By helicopter. If you're a hiking person, I'll suggest the first one. You need to start hiking a little bit early like 5 am in the morning because it's difficult to do while the sun is up. Bring enough water while hiking. There are 2 ways to stay there. 1. Lodge 2. Camping The lodge is 2 miles away from the first waterfall. Camp ground is just beside the fall. The places to see while you are there are 1. Beaver fall 2. Mooney falls 3. Havasu canyon 4. Fifty foot fall 5. Little Navajo falls 6. Navajo falls 7. Matkatamiba trail. The water of the fall is blue and it looks beautiful from the top. The Mooney fall is the tallest one and to go there it is a 2 mile hike from the camp ground and to go to the bottom of the fall, the last natural staircase is a little bit difficult. If you're a photography enthusiast, you have to take your camera. You have to capture long exposure photos of the fall. You can swim in the fall. The permit is necessary and the lodging is a little bit costly nearly $ 440 for one room for 4 people. If going camping, have your equipment ready, bring enough food and water. It is at least a 2 day trip. Enjoy the scenery there without any disturbance from the phone.

I've been around the world, and can genuinely say that Havasupai Falls offers one of the most unique, rewarding experiences possible. Each level of Havasu comes with a test of physical endurance, but generously rewards you with breathtaking views and serenity to refresh and reset before heading to the next fall. Pack plenty of water, keep a comfortable pace, and don't force yourself to make the journey too quickly. I recommend heading out just a few moments before daybreak to enjoy a nice brisk walk and experience some amazing views at sunrise. -While heading down Mooney falls, be sure to keep three points of contact at all times, as the rock wall is slippery due to mist from the falls. -The path to Beaver Falls will remind you of something straight out of Jurassic Park! The most important suggestion I have for visitors (aside from packing plenty of water/sunblock, and wearing super comfortable gear-especially shoes) is to be respectful and pick up after yourselves. It's an honor to be extended the privilege of visiting such an incredible destination. Be kind to the locals, and take time to ask about their culture and the history of the falls. The stories are powerful and will instill a deepened appreciation for the setting you're in. O yea.. if you're camping.. keep your food up! Don't think that a couple rocks on top of your bucket will keep the critters out. They've had a ton of time to work on their food stealing strategies :)

This an amazing place to visit. Plan ahead and get your permits. Keep an eye on the weather and hike in/out accordingly. I uploaded some images to show the contrast of the waterfalls before and after a storm as well as what the hike in can look like when the rains happen... you are hiking in a desert and water all comes down into the canyon where you are hiking through so it can be pretty majestic to witness but also dangerous. Be safe and have fun!

Definitely a trip everyone should make once. It is absolutely beautiful there, go to the falls earlier in the morning to beat the heat, be respectful of the villagers as it is their home we are wandering through. Bring plenty of water/snacks and do your research.

The views are breathtaking! We didnt realize that you could not view the entire park from this location. This park has 3 hiking trails and an over look. The park pass is valid for 7 days and lets you in at all the entrances. There was not a huge crowd which was nice and lots of parking. We are definitely glad we got to see this side.

Absolute beauty on the West side of Zion National Park. This is the quiet side of the park - absolutely worth a visit. Camping along La Verkin Creek is exquisite, fresh water readily available via two different springs - this area has everything to love for a day hike, a single night backpack, or as a stop along the Zion Traverse.

Kolb canyon is such a hidden treasure which is right off highway 15. The red canyons are so amazing to see. It is the back side of Zion. Hardly any people and traffic just views upon views.

Prepare for the unforgettable vistas as you ascend this stunning five-mile drive through Kolob Canyon as some of the most incredibly breathtaking views reveal themselves around its every twist and turn.

Beautiful here. Easy hiking trails and plenty of restrooms if needed. Clean park plus so beautiful!

Visited October 20, 2024 October 20, 2024 Ashley and I drove up Kolob Canyon a 5 mile drive up to the overlook and drove back some. We stopped at different pull offs to see the different views in Zion National Park.

One of the best places you’ve never heard of. Absolutely stunning views of rock formations that seemingly pop out of nowhere!

Great October hike at sunrise! We got our permit for the first time slot of the day, which was great. We took the first park shuttle of the day and were within the first few hikers of the day on the trail, so we didn't run into anyone on the way up Angels Landing. This hike was super fun to do. It is definitely impressive which gives a sense of pride when you complete it. I did not think it was too hard physically. It can definitely be scary in some areas though. I witnessed people turning back because it was too scary for them. I now get what the hype is all about. Get your permit and do the hike, you won't regret it.

Visiting Angels Landing was absolutely unforgettable! The views from the top were breathtaking, with incredible scenery in every direction. The hike itself was challenging but totally worth it once you reach the summit. The trail was well-maintained, and there were plenty of spots to stop and take photos. I’d recommend going early in the morning to avoid the crowds and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. It’s one of those places that truly reminds you how beautiful nature can be!

The hike is challenging but so worth it. I came down backwards which made it so mush easier. View is gorgeous along the way. It’s not as scary as shown in the online videos when you actually get on the trail.

Beautiful and Breathtaking hike! Be sure you are up for a challenge! There is a lot of high drop offs and your walking along edges. But it’s worth it! I am glad we went in October and not during peak season, it’s a small walking path for people in both directions and you have to wait for people to pass by before you can go.

Angel’s Landing is a stunning trail with some seriously out-of-this-world views. It’s not an easy hike, especially if you’re a beginner but totally worth it for the scenery. I went at the end of October, and even then it was hot and sunny, so I highly recommend starting early to beat the heat and the crowds. Bring lots of water. I didn’t go all the way to the peak with the chains (it gets pretty intense), but even stopping before that, the views were incredible. You don’t have to do the final stretch to enjoy the experience.

This hike is not for the faint of heart or anyone with a terrible fear of heights, but also the best hike I have ever done. The views are gorgeous, the chains area gets your adrenaline going, and finishing the hike feels so rewarding. Definitely dangerous, so must be physically able! I wouldn’t ever recommend this to children or elderly. To do the chains you must have a permit. But anyone can do the hike before that and get an incredible view at Scout Lookout before that if they don’t mind switchbacks! We went in June and on the trail at 7:30 am to beat the heat and the crowd, which worked great for us as it started getting much more crowded at the end. I recommend starting as early as possible. Keep in mind you will have to take their bus shuttle to the hike entrance and parking at the entrance of the park is near impossible to find if you arrive theater in the day.

This trail was one of the toughest I've tackled in my 15 years of hiking. I'd still recommend it 100% to those who can handle the challenge. Just be sure to bring plenty of water - more than you think you'll need. And if you're afraid of heights, this trail might not be for you.

The Narrows felt like a scene after a typhoon, went the weekend before Labor Day and it was packed! The water wasn’t clear at all, but it was still super fun and thrilling. Definitely rent shoes and walking sticks—it’s slippery. Bring some snacks and water. If you’re visiting Zion, this is a must-do!

Amazing and fun hike for the family!!! One of the best hikes I have done! The hike can be as long or as short as you like, as the real beauty is the path. Some people recommend special socks, water shoes, and hiking sticks. I do recommend a hiking stick, but I used an actual stick I found in the desert that worked great and wore quality water shoes. There was one place towards the beginning that we were in water chest deep, so do keep in mind that you can get really wet depending on how high the water currently is. We were there at the very end of June and the water was pretty cold, but our feet got used to it fast! There is also a little water fall towards the beginning of the river and fun side trails later on down the path. The shade covered us the whole hike, but we were on the trail by 8:00am and stayed for about 4 hours total. A must do if you are in Zion!!!

It was quite an adventure. Bring water and snacks. A stick is a must it really helps walking over rocks. We got there by 8am. Took the shuttle to stop 9. We walked about 1 mile to the start. We walked for about 4 miles in the narrows and turned around. We had couple young kids they were tired couldn't go any more. It took about 3 hours to go up and about 1 hour to come back down. Its a real adventure. $30 water shoes from Amazon worked really well. The water was very cold at first especially when it went up to your belly. But once that sun comes out and into the canyon it feels really good to rest and let the sun hit you and warm you up.

Our Zion National Park visit centered on The Narrows, an unforgettable water hike. By 8:10 a.m., the Visitor Center parking was full, so we parked at Stop 2 and took the shuttle to Stop 9. Thanks to my wife’s planning, we rented water shoes and hiking sticks, making the four-hour trek more enjoyable. The towering canyon views were stunning, and the kids had a blast! At one deep section, the water reached my waist, and I helped them across—an exciting challenge. You need to experience The Narrows at least once in your life.

The Narrows is the most unforgettable hike of my life. Imagine wading directly into the Virgin River, surrounded by thousand-foot canyon walls that rise dramatically on both sides. It’s not just a hike; it’s an adventure. Hot tip: bring hiking poles or at least a walking stick and shoes/boots and clothes you don’t mind getting soaked. First, getting there…you must either take the park shuttle or bike in, no private vehicles are allowed. It sounds like a pain, it isn’t, trust me. Ample parking is available near the visitors center near the shuttle stop. Then you’re on your way. Take it to the last stop, Temple of Sinawava then hike an easy paved trail to the “entry” aka the water. The river is your trail, and every step is both exhilarating and humbling. Sometimes the water is ankle-deep, other times it reaches your waist/chest and with every bend you discover new perspectives on this awe-inspiring canyon. The cool water, the echo of footsteps and laughter, the sheer scale of the rock walls, it’s a sensory experience unlike anything else. The beauty also is, you can go as far or as little as you want! My wife and I took this on and were absolutely blown away. It challenged us, yes, but it also rewarded us with memories we’ll never forget. Standing there, looking up at the towering cliffs and realizing how small you are; it’s a perspective shift you can’t get anywhere else. If you do one hike in Zion, make it The Narrows. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that leaves you both exhausted and exhilarated, and it will stay with you forever.

What a hike, water is cold and deep in many areas. This place can get very packed especially in the beginning. Highly recommend a walking stick and good water shoes as the rocks will destroy your feet and ankles.

I don't think words or photos can truly convey this experience. You just have to go and do it yourself. I will say that you don't really need the boots and neoprene socks that the outfitters outside the park have to rent. I think the only thing are either hiking poles or a sturdy hiking stick.

We recently visited Utah to see Bryce and Zion national Park. We came across Coral pink Sand Dune park and it was amazing. The highlight of our trip ! The park had easy access, entrance fee was only $15 and Chelsea at the front gate was very pleasant and inviting. We went and explored the sand dunes which were stunning. Then we saw Roam outdoor adventures company, where they were riding UTV on the sand dunes we just had to try it Mikey our tour guide was great. It was an unforgettable experience. It was so invigorating riding the UTV over the sand dunes. Then we got out to see peekaboo slot Canyon, which was amazing. My only regret is that I did not book a longer tour. We will definitely go back and tell everyone about it such great people in Utah and the natural beauty is incredible. A hidden gem for sure.

If you already have a state park pass and are in the area, I'd say this is a nice place to make a quick stop to walk out on the dunes. If you don't have a park pass and aren't in the area, I don't think this is worth seeing. They have dune buggy/OHV tours you can do that looked like fun (if you can go deeper into the park) but we didn't have time to schedule one so we just walked out to see the dunes and walked back. There's an overlook area you can stand on if you don't want to walk in the sand too. This is a dog friendly park but please bring a lot of water for your dog. Also - the sand gets very hot very quickly, so make sure their paws are protected.

This made the third Dunes we've been to but the first one we climbed to the top of the dunes at! And though it's out of the way, as most Dunes tend to be, it was worth the pop in and out. The temps were great for this, being able to walk bearfoot in the sand because it wasn't lava hot, was a first as well! Dog loved it too, and was also happy it was cooler. 🐾 We did not get a sled, but observed others, it didn't seem worth the $25 to get one, let's say that. We all agreed it's not really "pink", moreso orange. The texture of the sand is soft and fine. And if you dig just a tiny bit down, the sand is cool and moist. A fun family trip to check it out was worth it.

Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park was a great experience. The landscape is stunning… soft pink sand dunes stretching across the horizon with red cliffs and clear skies all around. It’s one of those places that feels completely different from the rest of southern Utah. One of the best things to do there is rent a sandboard or sled from the main park office. They make it easy to get what you need and the gear is in good condition. Sandboarding down the dunes is a blast, especially for kids and anyone looking for something fun and different. The sand is deep and fine, so walking up the dunes takes a little effort, but the views from the top are worth it. You can also bring off-road vehicles if you want to explore the larger dunes on the other side of the park. There are picnic areas, restrooms, and plenty of parking, so it’s easy to spend a few hours or a full day. I definitely recommend it. Whether you’re sandboarding, taking photos, or just enjoying the scenery, Coral Pink Sand Dunes is worth the visit.

Camped in site 31 with our Motorhome and YXZ. We had a group of 13 camping in park and 2 couples in Kanab hotel. They allowed them to come in park there trucks in group area and they left there RZRs in corral at our site at night. Not sure on cost forgot to ask them. Sand dunes are cool if that's your thing. Bathroom and shower facilities are clean and nice. Sites don't have sewer hook up but dump station on site. Water pressure horrible just filled our tanks and used pump. Don't expect wifi it's very spotty so unless you have starlink or something compatible it's hit n miss with Verizon service. Got text but no call reception. So if working be sure you have appropriate equipment. Camp host came over just as we pulled YXZ off trailer telling us don't cut the corners in camp otherwise he has to sweep dirt and rocks back. Lol. Beautiful area lots of deer so be careful driving. We found Sasquatch ❤️😎👊

I usually don't do reviews of natural landmarks, but this place is an absolute letdown. Utah definitely shouldn’t sell this as a "state park". It is nothing more than a gigantic ATV race track and OHV staging area. If you are looking for good hikes or simply to enjoy a beautiful scenery - as you can expect when visiting state or national parks - this is not the right place for you. I hiked into the dune field and anywhere you go all you can see is those ATV tracks all over the place, hear the roar of the ATVs all around you, and smell the gasoline in the air. Definitely a fun place for those who come here just for that, or who are willing to spend some bucks to do a guided tour! For the average visitor of state / national parks who are looking for a PRISTINE & SERENE landscape: don't come here!

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been experienced. Go for sunrise or sunset for the best sand color 🙏🏻 Bring your own sled, park charges a lot for theirs. You can also park anywhere along the road and walk in.

Nice place for a quick stop to see Bryce canyon NP-like views. The spectra trail was nice, but they also have an observation deck area that will give you equally nice views of you don't have time to walk the trail. The gift shop has reasonably priced shirts and sweatshirts. You're required to have your state park pass to enter this location but no one checks so you can basically just walk the trail and see the observation deck without having to show your park pass at all. As long as you don't go into the visitor center, you're good. There is a clean bathroom at the parking lot.

WOW! Let me tell you, if you can make it up to cedars break I would highly recommend the drive. When you’re seeking peace this is the place to be. Just under a 35 minute drive from cedar city this look out is quite phenomenal. With a priceless view and onlookers from all over it’s truly breathtaking. Every time I’m in town I go to Cedars Break to catch the sunset and just sit in awe of such an amazing spectacle.

Go up there if you can. Very similar to Bryce, but 2000 ft higher in elevation. The ride up there from Zion to Bryce (yes it is a detour) in late September with the aspens in bloom was spectacular. Even had to stop to allow some grazing sheep to cross. WELL WORTH A TRIP.

We got it just in time to have a moment to talk to the Rangers in the visitor center. They cannot be kinder or more friendly and were very helpful. The park is open 24 hours however the visitor center is only open til five. Beautiful hikes, beautiful views for everybody to enjoy.

This place was so much more than what I expected to see here. I had no idea what I was driving to and walking towards. It was such an unassuming drive on the way to Bryce Canyon and it just pops out of nowhere. Have to say it was really cool and the most pleasant of surprises. Breathtaking.

This place is all inspiring. From the southern visitor Center just walk straight out and you are greeted with this massive landscape. You can see for miles and miles and the landscape is very unique. Take a moment and read the various information that's available at the visitor center as they are very helpful. The geological formation at this area is quite amazing. They are restrooms you can use and it's easily accessible from the parking lot. There are several viewpoints around this monument and I highly recommend you go to her the Northern viewpoint as it gives you a very different perspective. I think the best time to visit is doing sunrise and not sunset.

This gorgeous park is such a hidden gem! Was never on our plans, never heard of it until a friend told me about it. SO glad we went! If you’re in the area of Zion and Bryce, this is a must do!!! It’s like a mini Grand Canyon! Visitors center and staff were great too…

Best friends is definitely a must visit. We are from Cincinnati & have visited a few times. Well this time after touring the sanctuary we met some of the Texas flood rescues and came home with a dog! Bear friends helped us find a safe way to get her home. Tours are free, funny, & informative. The volunteers & workers are sweet and really engage with you in your. Greet for kiddos

So, probably a good idea to plan your stop in advance. We didn't. They have plenty of tours, but it looks like most are in the morning. Enough about our mistake. The self-guided tour is pretty epic anyway. You do get to go into one of the many cat houses and interact with the kitties. And you can see just a few of their hundreds of dogs at the adoption center. This place is doing great work.

This place was so much fun. The lunch was amazing. Especially for $5. And the view from the patio was so pretty. Everyone was so welcoming. The tours were super cool and the animals are so well behaved. The cats were great with children which was a relief with my 3 year old wanting to pet them.

I am a monthly donor so I wanted to see how my donations were being used. I was pleasantly surprised by this beautiful town called Kanab. It's breaktaking views will make you appreciate the work of God. I enjoyed all 3 tours that I went on ( the grand sanctuary tour, goat walking and pig tour, and bunny tour). I learned something about goats on the tour. You're not supposed to feed male goats a lot of fruit because it can cause lead to crystallization within their urethra. I fed some goats grapes and leaves at the vineyard because they acted hingry. But i will not do that again. I recommend that you spend two days so you can take all of the tours. The cafe provides a delicious $5 vegan lunch with a million dollar view. I love how the pigs have air conditioning on their houses to keep them cool. This sanctuary has a building to care for cats with Feline Leukemia Virus. They are no kill so any animal that ends up here has a home for life. And last but not least, this sanctuary is completely ran off volunteers and donations. So please donate so we can save them all.

My 4th visit to Best Friends but this time arranged a highly successful group volunteer visit for Sisters on the Fly with the BFAS Group Experience Team. Our hearts were filled with the BFAS mission and vision through volunteering, touring and making parrot enrichment toys. A 3-day event easily could have been a few days longer for us. Yummy, outdoor, vegan lunches at picturesque Angel's Village Cafe were 'icing on the cake.'

I’ve wanted to visit Best Friends for decades! So happy to finally get to see this magnificent sanctuary in memory of Toots. Everything about it is perfect. Yeah, I cried. Sacred experience for me ❤️

We have visited this beautiful place more than once! Enclaved within the red rock beauty and near Zion National Park this place is truly magical. There is a tour although not as it used to be. Worth a visit and go ahead and adopt a pet..

Great NP, even during the shutdown. Visitor's Center was open and the shuttle was running (it ends October 19). Lots of varied hikes from 1 mile to some monstrous ones. Terrain was varied as well, some serious elevation changes and some paved accessible ones. Quite beautiful!

Bryce Canyon National Park is one of those rare places that feels almost other-worldly. The moment you step up to the rim and look out over the amphitheaters filled with thousands of vibrant red and orange hoodoos, it genuinely takes your breath away. No picture truly prepares you for how surreal and massive the landscape is in person. What makes Bryce especially memorable is how accessible its beauty is. You can catch incredible views right from Sunrise, Sunset, Inspiration, and Bryce Points, each offering a slightly different angle of the canyon’s maze-like formations. But the real magic happens when you hike down into the canyon. Trails like Navajo Loop, Queen’s Garden, and Peekaboo Loop let you walk among the towering hoodoos, weaving through narrow passages and tunnels carved by nature. It’s hard not to feel tiny, in the best possible way. Another highlight is how the park transforms throughout the day. Early mornings glow with soft gold light, afternoons bring out the rich reds of the rock, and the sunsets are phenomenal. If you stay after dark, Bryce is also one of the best stargazing locations in the country—its night sky is unbelievably clear. Whether you’re there to hike, photograph, or simply soak in the views, Bryce Canyon feels like stepping into a natural cathedral shaped by time and elements. It’s a must-see national park that leaves you inspired long after you’ve left.

Bryce Canyon is absolutely stunning. The landscape is filled with towering spires of rock called hoodoos in deep reds, oranges, and whites. The trails are steep, challenging, and completely worth it. Every turn opens up a new and breathtaking view. What makes Bryce Canyon so unique is that it isn’t a true canyon but a series of natural amphitheaters carved by erosion and frost. The park sits high on the Paunsaugunt Plateau, with elevations reaching over 9,000 feet at Rainbow Point. A few fun facts: The park covers about 35,835 acres (roughly 56 square miles). It has the largest concentration of hoodoos in the world. The colors come from iron oxide and other minerals in the rock. The contrast of light at sunrise and sunset makes it one of the most photographed places in Utah. If you love dramatic scenery and rewarding hikes, this is a place you’ll never forget. Five stars from start to finish.

Wow!!! Bryce Canyon is unbelievable its like another world! It gets real interesting fast when you enter red canyon going east on hwy 12. Those red rocks are amazing such deep red color. Then you get to Bryce and those deep red colors mix with the tan sandstone color all of it blends into a natural wonder! We had so much fun we traveled all the way down the canyon at Rainbow Point and enjoyed a nice picnic lunch. They have lots of picnic tables in this area and restrooms. Many roadside pullout areas and parking lots to get to all the viewpoints along the canyon. When traveling deep into the canyon the canyon dropoff is on both sides of you....quite a thrilling experience! I recommend getting to sunrise/sunset point as early as you can because it gets quite busy with visitors. Once you find parking there is nice large concrete walkway that join Sunrise and sunset points together.

We went in early November and the crowds weren't to bad. The visitors center was still open even with the government shutdown. The views were stunning and breathtaking. Wish we could have had more time to do some of the hikes but we will definitely be coming back to see more.

Breathtaking views! I think winter is the best time to visit as the hikes are doable (we did the 3 mile hike which made us sweat as well lol). The beautiful skies add up to the wonderful snow capped mountains which are visible even at greater distances.

Gorgeous. Don’t be afraid to go in a few basic hikes; they’re well worth it. Visit the welcome center and talk to one of the park rangers at a desk and get a plan for each day. Our ranger was very knowledgeable and was able to recommend specific hikes that were within our capabilities, including secret gems.

Such an incredible place! We had previously come in the winter and were unable to do it (they close this one in the winter due to rockfall). We were excited to do it in the summer on a day it wasn’t too hot. We descended here and took the trail to Sunset Point (I’d recommend starting with this trail as you want to enjoy it rather than being exhausted by it.) The trail was busy, but not necessarily packed—lots of coming and going. My wife and I commented to each other that we heard more foreign languages (especially European) than we heard English which was really cool. The trail is indescribable and something you have to experience yourself. Worth the trek to see this amazing geological feature. Take plenty of water and use the bathroom before descending as there isn’t anything down in the valley.

Wall Street is one of the loop sections of the Navajo trail. This trail is not as hard as advertised as long as you have good hiking shoes and are smart, aka don't walk on the edge. The park map says you should hike up Wall Street, but it was better to walk down and loop the trail over to queens garden trail. One thing that is not noted on the maps is if you happen to walk down the trail, take time to stop now and then and look up. The view is pretty amazing as you have the hoodoos towering over you along with seeing the trail zig zag down the canyon.

Very cool. Even through weathered erosion beauty springs forth. But all of Bryce Canyon NP is epic. Do the hikes. Walk the rim. Ride the multi use trail. Bryce Canon NP drive is 18 miles long and just stunning. Just not enough parking but the shuttle buses are always around the corner.

Hiking through Wall Street feels like walking into a secret world. The narrow canyon walls soar hundreds of feet overhead, creating a sense of scale. The light filters down, illuminating different rock faces and making the view change with every step.

Beautiful hike going deep in the hoodoos. Best to do this trail up and go down from the Navajo which is longer down and in the sun. Wall Street has shade and makes it nice when you’re pooped out from Navajo. 👍

Wall Street was a cool place to see, on the Navajo Switch Back. My kids got there just fine (ages 12, 9, 6). It was very beautiful!

Amazing, absolutely brilliant section! A must-do, must-hike. The Navajo loop trail is not very long, but has a steep descend and climb on the beginning/end. Bring lots of water, hiking shoes. It can be very hot. I'd give it more than 5 stars, if I could!
