About this area
Las Vegas is a gateway to some of America's great national parks. Several are possible as long day trips; others are best as an overnight extension to your race trip.
Fitting it into race week
Track sessions run in the evening, so daytime is free for sightseeing. This is a day trip — leave early and plan to be back in town by late afternoon if you have tickets for the evening sessions.
Tips
- Best as an overnight trip or by tour.
- Sunrise and sunset are unforgettable.
