Travel To Bryce And Zion
If a trip to Bryce and Zion has been on
your radar for a long time you haven’t been able to figure out a way to get
enough time to make the road trip from where you are, here’s an interesting way
to approach seen these kinds of places without having the amount of driving
time in between that you might think you need.
If you live on the West Coast and you might be able to make the trip
from your house to some of the national parks and area, and doing a reasonable
timeframe. But if you live almost anywhere
else in the country you’re probably facing upwards of three days driving just
to get to an area like the grand canyon.
This can be a little bit intimidating for some people, especially
because they will be driving the majority of the distance across the desert
which can be quite difficult if you’re not used to it. This is why savvy travelers have begun using a
kind of trick for their travel that saves them lots of time. This is basically flying into the starting
point and then travel and from there. In
the case of a lot of the national parks are in the southwestern portion of the
United States, Las Vegas makes the best starting point for many of these kinds
of trips. This is because Las Vegas is
appropriately positioned in the middle of the Mojave Desert, the outskirts of
which many of these protected spaces are on.
In the early days, people traveling across the Mojave Desert needed a
place to stop halfway through in order to resupply or rest to before continuing
on their journey. After airline traffic
began to take over as the method of traveling across the country that most
people would choose, Las Vegas actually became a more appropriate starting
point for travel to these remote areas that do not have airports closer. Because national parks are generally remote
and do not have much for infrastructure built around them, you either need
drive directly two the park from your home or figure out an appropriate
starting point. In the southwest, Las
Vegas makes perfect sense as a starting point because it is a tourist
destination of its own. The flights to
go in and the city and hotel rooms are going to be more affordable and more
convenient for most people than other starting point cities like Salt Lake City. A little bit of planning can make a trip
quite tolerable, especially if you plan on visiting Zion as part of your
vacation. Zion Canyon is actually
located only 2 hours from the city, so you can use it as the first stop,
camping in between and then continuing on your journey the next day. By minimizing the amount of driving time in
between each stop, you can make your trip far more enjoyable because work done
will be spent hiking in less time we spent driving.
