Kids often like to show off their scars as a badge of honor. Well, Earth, puts one of its own scars on display that millions traverse to by bus, helicopter, plane or their own vehicle in order to cross it off their bucket list.

The Grand Canyon is a 277-mile long gash across the planet’s surface that captivates tourists, serves as standing a history and geology lesson and features some of the most sought after recreation destinations in the world.

Las Vegas is the yearly home of thousands of quirky Star Trek fans who come to the city to celebrate the renowned sci-fi show. Fittingly, it was about 50 miles north of Las Vegas where the legendary Captain Kirk fell to his death in “Star Trek Generations,” which was filmed at the Valley of Fire.

Hoover Dam used enough concrete to build a two-lane highway from San Francisco to New York (not the one on the Las Vegas Strip), spawned an entire city (Boulder City) to house 5,000 dam workers and as the largest project of the time it is one of the Seven Wonders of the Industrial World.

As the many workers that keep Hoover Dam a highly-sought after tourist attraction would say, it is worth the Dam trip from the rows of blackjack tables and bars on the Las Vegas Strip.

If you have overindulged on the multitude of sinful amenities offered by the Las Vegas strip and are in need a sanctuary devoid of civilization, slot machines and alcohol, why not check out Mt. Charleston. In the short drive it takes to reach Mt. Charleston from anywhere on the Strip, you can quickly find yourself nestled amongst the many peaks of the Spring Mountains, taking in the beautiful and underappreciated Las Vegas outdoors.

Greetings from the great outdoors!
