More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into the van before dawn in Las Vegas and watch neon recede as red earth rises to meet the sun. Hours later, the Colorado River dares you at Horseshoe Bend — a broad, vertiginous arc of green water cut 1,100 feet below a rust-colored rim. The river holds steady, glassy in the morning and impatient by afternoon.
