We flew to Las Vegas Nevada on April 30, and after a couple of days exploring the glitter and glamour of the city, rented a car and started on a tour of seven (7) national parks in Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. We concluded the trip in Phoenix, AZ and flew home on May 24th.
Each park is presented on it's own page and accessed through the links below. At the bottom of this page are a few pictures of Las Vegas.
