Las Vegas

Las Vegas is a resort and entertainment city for the whole family and not just a destination for gamblers. There is no other city in the USA, except for Orlando, where you will find so many unique leisure and entertainment options. The city is also known for the shows presented in it. The city is a global tourism hub. Before the COVID-19 period, it was visited by over 40 million tourists per year! The city also serves as a convenient starting point for trips to the national parks: Zion, Bryce, Antelope Canyon, and the Grand Canyon.

Grand Canyon Village

The "Grand Canyon" is the most famous canyon in the world and is considered one of the wonders of the world. The rushing Colorado River flows through its gorge. Every year, more than 5 million visitors come to the park! Most visitors tour the South Rim. The North Rim has fewer facilities and services for tourists and access to it is less convenient, but because it is higher, the view from it is even more impressive.

Page (near Lake Powell)

A trip to Lake Powell (on the Arizona-Utah border) and its surroundings is one of the highlights of a trip to the Western USA. The starting point for trips in this area is the town of Page, located in northern Arizona, so it is recommended to stay there. It is recommended to sail by boat or kayak on Lake Powell, tour the amazing Antelope Canyon, see the Horseshoe Bend of the Colorado River, and visit the Glen Canyon Dam.

Bryce Canyon

Bryce Canyon is one of the most beautiful and impressive parks in the USA. Its area is relatively small compared to other national parks, and it is possible to see it and tour all its attractions in one day. In the park, you can find the most colorful rocks in the world in unique shapes formed by nature due to erosion: thousands of hoodoos, cones, spires, and mazes made of colorful sandstone and limestone.
