I was just at Bryce Canyon National Park in southwestern Utah, and it was awesome.
I've been many places in my life, and Utah is one of the nicest places I've seen.
And yes, I personally took these photos !
This national park is about a 4 hour drive away from Las Vegas Nevada.
There are even more national parks in the area, besides Bryce Canyon, inbetween southern Utah and Las Vegas that will keep you very busy and entertained for a many days !
This is definitely recommended.
