Often sidelined amid the glitz and glamour of the city, Las Vegas‘s natural landscape can be a worthy attraction, too. From the Brian Head resort with prime skiing and verdant foilage to Cedar Breaks National Monument’s jagged cliffs made of sandstone, day trips from Las Vegas can be worth the few-hour car ride. Death Valley National Park receives visitors from around the globe, and the Grand Canyon–one of the world’s seven famous wonders–is a mere 300 miles away. For those seeking a Hot Springs vacation, the State of Nevada offers over 300 natural hot springs, along with lakes, canyons, and ranches that will have any naturalist feeling immediately at peace.
