Some roads are the destination. In the desert, the drive between two parks is often the best part of the day.
Getting there
Start from Las Vegas; the first red rocks are less than an hour away.
Where to stay
Small motels and a few nights of camping under very dark skies.
What I would do differently
I would drive in the early morning and rest through the afternoon heat.

Prices in this guide are what I paid. They move every season, so use them as a rough guide.
