[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a great trip is to do a trip flying into Vegas and out of Phoenix and seeing some parks in between (yes renting a car and staying 1-3 nights at different spots). Here are is a list of parks/sites you could see but you can’t really see all of them so you need to decide how to spend your time. If you can get lodging inside a national park it’s always worth imo.

Hoover Dam
Valley of Fire (state park)
Zion NP
Bryce NP
Page AZ (Lake Powell, Horseshoe Bend, slot canyons)
Grand Canyon
Sedona[/quote]

Yes to this, but consider adding antelope canyon and monument valley (both run by Indian tribes, not a NP). Antelope Canyon was a highlight of a recent trip.[/quote]

This is a lot for a week (not my style), but you can consider how much to attempt.  I did want to mention some options that don't involve hiking since you said that's not necessarily how you roll.  You can drive to the Hoover Dam or take the new bridge to cross between Nevada and Arizona.   At Lake Powell, there is a multi-hour boat tour that you can do and also some people rent houseboats.  Antelope Canyon is so photogenic. You pay the Native Americans to get access and walk through.  At the GC, you can walk a bit and then take a shuttle back.  In Sedona, the "pink jeep" tours take you up in the red rock hills --very scenic.  There is also a park called Slide Rock State Park which is fun (check the temps before you go in March though).
