FROM LAS VEGAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT DIRECTIONS WITH SCENIC STOPS: Start the trip by getting on I-15 heading north out of Las Vegas. After traveling for about 55 miles, you'll come to the Valley of Fire State Park, which is worth a stop and drive-through. The Valley of Fire Scenic Byway is a 10-mile road that goes through the park, offering many view stops along the way. Get back on I-15, and about 100 miles outside Las Vegas, you'll go through the Virgin River Gorge. With soaring cliffs on either side, it's a nice break from the barren desert scenery. Next stop is St. George, Utah, where you'll take exit 16 to UT-9, which is a 30-mile road leading to the Zion National Park entrance. Zion Canyon Scenic Drive is the main tourist route through the park, allowing you to visit all the must-see locations. It's closed to private vehicles during the summer, and visitors must use the free shuttles. Once at the park, you don't need your car, you can make use of the park's Zion shuttle inside the park and the Springdale Shuttle to get you around the local area.
