Nevada Parks
Nevada's parks range from the magnificent Great Basin National Park on the eastern side of the state to the beautiful Lake Tahoe State Park in the west, and Red Rock Canyon in the south to Wild Horse in the north. In between, expect to find a diverse set of 24 state and several national parks and the countless regional and municipal parks. Nevada's geology lends to the diversity displayed in the state's parks. Throughout the state, you can find all sorts of adventurous activities in Nevada's parks, or you can relax on the edge of a cool body of water. Choosing where you'll take your next outdoor trip--or just where you plan to visit next time you're in your favorite Nevada town--is as easy as taking a look at what we've put together.Directions - Grand Canyon National Park
The mile-deep Colorado River creates a barrier that splits the park into north and south Rims. In this illustration, the North Rim is shown in yellow and the South Rim is shown in blue. Why is the park separated into South and North Rims? A 277 mile long (446 km) canyon separates the park into South and North Rims. The Grand Canyon of the Colorado River is a mile-deep, (1.6 km) and creates a barrier that bisects the park. Even though the average distance across the canyon is only 10 miles/ 16 km, be aware that it is a five-hour drive of 215 miles/ 346 km between the park's South Rim Village and the North Rim Village.
The South Rim of Arizona's Grand Canyon is expensive and overcrowded, and there is usually a shortage of parking and accommodation, but that of course doesn't matter as the canyon is the most famous natural attraction in the USA and possibly in the world. No-one forgets their first sight of the Grand Canyon and it will never fail to impress or offer something new, no matter how often it is visited. Ninety percent of tourists see only the south rim of the Grand Canyon, since it is easily accessible and the main road (AZ 64) parallels the canyon edge for some distance (see map ) - here there is every conceivable facility, many superb overlooks and a choice of hiking trails . The north rim , 215 miles away by road, is much more remote and high enough in elevation to be closed during the winter months by snow, but fewer people mean more peace and tranquility and the views are just as good.

Four miles off Utah Highway 261 near Mexican Hat, you can look into a 1,000-foot-deep chasm carved through the Pennsylvanian Hermosa Formation by the silt-laden San Juan River. The river meanders back and forth, flowing for more than five miles while progressing only one linear mile toward the Colorado River and Lake Powell. The access road is paved.
