Bryce and Zion closest airport
 

I've noticed that many people talk about flying into LV to travel to Bryce and Zion National Parks, but no one speaks about flying into Cedar City Airport which is also in the vicinity. We are planning a trip from New York in June of '07 and we found that we can get a flight to LV, with a few hour layover, and then a flight to Cedar City Airport. We can sleep there overnight before heading out to Bryce and start our trip that way. We will then go south to Zion, and further south to the North Rim and back to Cedar City Airport. (the trip will be 9 days). Any opinions on this?

Hi book,

Well, you do the math:

Las Vegas to Zion = 2 1/2 hour drive

Las Vegas to Cedar City = 3 hour drive

Flight layover = ? hours

Rental car in LV vs. rental car in Cedar City = ?

One way rental car if you fly in or out of Las Vegas? why backtrack to Cedar City from GC?

I doubt if flights to Cedar City are cheap, it's a very small airport.

+ drive from LV to Zion is very scenic for about 1/2 the way!

Let us know more details and what you decide!

PS - if you want to get really close, I believe there is a dirt landing strip at Bryce! That might be pretty exciting (based on personal experience).
