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

  • A shuttle may operate in Zion Canyon; check the park website.
  • November is quieter with cooler temps.
