Distance
 

I will be staying on the Vegas strip in June for vacation.I was interested in renting a car for a day or two I was wondering how far a trip to Grand canyon be. Can you see alot with only one day. Also how far is California from las vegas?(driving time) any information will be great thanks.

California is about 45 miles from LV. Of course, if you want to see anything but desert, it's a bit further. Where in California?

I believe Grand Canyon is about a 5-hour drive from Vegas. Preferably, you would want to stay overnight there to enjoy the sites / see the sunset or sunrise.<BR><BR>Death Valley National Park, CA, is about 3 hours away.<BR><BR>Another option that is not too far (&amp; even more beautiful IMHO) is ZION national park in southern Utah.<BR><BR>You can check out all the national parks &amp; travel directions, info on each at the nat'l parks website: www.nps.gov/parks

If my memory serves me well here:<BR> The Grand Canyon is a little too far to make a day trip out of. <BR>It is 5 hours to Las Angeles from Las Vegas, if there were no other cars on the highway.<BR> Mapquest.com will give you an idea of distances.<BR> From Vegas for the day, I would recommend:<BR>Red Rock Canyon<BR>Valley of Fire<BR>Lake Mead/Hoover Dam<BR>Mt Charleston<BR>

I know-it is LOS Angeles:)
