There are many National Parks, State Parks, and attractions within a 4-hour drive. Here are our favorites and top recommendations, with driving times from the estate.
1
Sand Hollow State Park- 15 min
With its blue waters and stunning red rock backdrop, Sand Hollow (in the summer) is the perfect place to spend a day playing in the sand, swimming, enjoying water sports, and cliff jumping. In the winter it is great for hiking and climbing the red rocks.
2
Zion National Park- 30 min
One of the most popular national parks in the US, just 30 minutes away. Zion is filled with tons of great family-friendly hikes (our favorite is the Emerald Pools), horseback riding, and plenty of opportunity for wildlife spotting.
3
Snow Canyon State Park - 30 min
This stunning park is scattered with volcanic cones, sand dunes, lava flows, and soaring red sandstone cliffs and is packed with tons of family-friendly hiking.
4
Coral Pink Sand Dunes - 40 min
If your kiddos like playing in the sand, and what kid doesn't, you need to check out this amazing giant sandbox. The sand is so fine that it feels like butter going through your toes. For added fun rent a sand sled from the ranger station. If you are going in the summer we recommend going first thing in the morning or the sand will most likely be too hot to enjoy.
5
Kanarra Falls - 45 min
In the heart of Kanarraville you will find Kanarra Falls. This is a moderate hike where you will find yourself ankle to knee deep in water, climbing up and down slopes. It is a slot canyon with waterfalls. At the first waterfall you will scale a 20’ ladder. You need reservations to enter this hike.
6
Grand Canyon - 2 hrs to North Rim
The North Rim offers a serene and enthralling Grand Canyon experience. It is more remote and less developed than the South Rim, and so it attracts far fewer tourists. Many people think its viewpoints are the most spectacular, since they are located at a higher elevation.
7
Cedar Breaks National Monument - 1.5 hrs
Resting on top of the Colorado Plateau at over 10,000 feet in elevation, a breathtaking view at Cedar Breaks National Monument awaits. Millions of years of sedimentation, uplift, and erosion are carving out this giant amphitheater, that spans some three miles, and is more than 2000 feet deep.
8
Valley of Fire - 1 hr 45 min
Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada is famous for its striking red sandstone formations, created from ancient sand dunes, which are set against a backdrop of gray limestone mountains, making it a visually stunning desert landscape known for its unique rock formations and petroglyphs.
9
Bryce Canyon National Park - 2 hrs
Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah is known for its hoodoos, which are colorful rock formations that look like spires, totems, and domes. The park also has scenic vistas and dark skies. Byce has wonderful trails and is a great National Park to hike. Rubys is a great shopping area next to Bryce.
10
Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend - 2.5 hrs
Antelope Canyon is a famous slot canyon in Arizona that was formed by millions of years of erosion. It's known for its wave-like structure and light beams that shine through the canyon. Nearby Horseshoe Bend is a stunning geological formation in Arizona where the Colorado River carves a deep, horseshoe-shaped bend through sandstone cliffs, offering visitors a breathtaking panoramic view from a viewpoint overlooking the canyon. These iconic landmarks, located near the town of Page, are must- visits. Please note you need a reservation for Antelope Canyon.
