The best nature trips near Las Vegas, Red Rock Canyon and Death Valley!
#JapanFlightEvent
It was really surprising that such wonderful nature existed not far from Las Vegas. Red Rock Canyon and Death Valley each had their own charms, but both places allowed you to fully experience the grandeur of nature.
Red Rock Canyon was about 30 minutes away from Las Vegas by car, making it very accessible. There were various trail courses and routes to enjoy driving all over the place, allowing you to enjoy nature without any burden. In particular, the red rock cliffs and endless scenery were so magnificent that it was difficult to capture them all in a photo.
Death Valley was a little further away (about 2 and a half hours), but it was well worth the trip. The desolate yet exotic scenery made me feel like I was on another planet. Each place, including Badwater Basin, Zabriskie Point, and Artist's Palette, had its own unique charm. The temperature was moderate in the winter, so it was great to explore.
Here's a tip: If you visit both places during sunrise or sunset, you'll be able to see even more impressive scenery. Also, since Death Valley is a large area, it is recommended to leave early and prepare enough water and snacks.
After touring Red Rock Canyon and Death Valley, I was able to feel the harmonious beauty of nature, different from the glamour of Las Vegas. If you take the time to visit, it is a travel destination you will never regret!

So beautiful
#JapanAirTicketEvent Zabriskie Point, my first stop in Death Valley, was really impressive. As I looked at its unique landscape, scenes from the movie *Dune* came to mind. The endless desert and strangely shaped rocks made me feel like I was on another planet. I felt a similar feeling to the vast desert atmosphere I saw in the movie, and I was overwhelmed by the grandeur of nature. The scenery of Zabriskie Point itself was full of cinematic charm, and thanks to it, I was reminded of the world of *Dune* again. It felt like I was living a scene from the movie.

Especially at sunrise or sunset, the sky and the ground blended together to create an enchanting color that felt like a scene from a movie. The quiet atmosphere and mysterious scenery made me forget reality, and the surrounding scenery unfolded like a huge work of art, drawing admiration from the viewer. Zabriskie Point was like the best movie set created by nature, presenting a beautiful scene that will always remain in my heart.

The most scenic spot in Death Valley
Zabriskie Point it's probably the most iconic and awesome spot in the entire death valley. The views are truly stunning and fascinating. There is a convenient parking lot nearby the lookout.
A few hikes start here. If you're planning to hike here, then better come very early because by 10 AM the temperature even in winter is nearly unbearable.
But even just a simple visit of the viewpoint itself without any hard-core hiking is absolutely worth it. Seriously, that's probably the best you can see. I spent quite some time there and took lots and lots of pictures, this place is extremely photogenic.
