🌄 Zion National Park: Las Vegas’ Wilderness Next Door 🏞️

Zion National Park sits northeast of Vegas—a perfect first stop on your Grand Circle road trip! 🚗💨 🏨 Pro Tip: The 3-hour drive from Vegas is rough with kids! 😴 We stayed in St. George (a cute, clean town!) and drove 30 mins to Zion next morning. 🌅 🚌 Park Rules: No private cars in Zion! 🚫 Grab the park shuttle at the visitor center to reach trails and viewpoints. 🏞️ 🚇 Tunnel Secrets: The tunnel connecting Zion to Bryce Canyon? Built almost 100 years ago! 🕰️ No electricity inside—just these tiny air holes letting in light. 💡 🎲 Checkboard Mesa: Named for its grid-like rock patterns! 🧩 Park here for epic photo ops. 📸 🛣️ Road Design: Zion’s roads are painted dark red to match the cliffs! 🎨 Nature meets human creativity! #USA #GrandCircle #WestCoastRoadTrip #NaturePorn 🌵
