Cathedral Gorge State Park

15 Best Day Trips From Las Vegas

"Approximately 2.5 hours from Las Vegas, this park features dramatic spires and slot canyons formed by ancient volcanic activity and erosion; a network of trails of varying lengths lets visitors explore cave‑like scenery, with the moderate Miller Point Trail (about 0.5 miles round‑trip) recommended for memorable viewpoints." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
