The Grand Canyon is located on the northern border of Arizona, about two hours southeast of Sand Hollow State Park. As you visit Sand Hollow, we highly recommend that you take a short trip to view this historical landmark. While you may be required to make advanced reservations to hike this canyon, you can still enjoy the scenic overlook without much planning beforehand—and it is well worth it!
Bryce Canyon National Park
Located about two hours away from Sand Hollow, Bryce Canyon National Park is the largest collection of hoodoos in the world! What are hoodoos?

With exquisite viewpoints, wandering hiking trails, horseback rides, and evening stargazing, Bryce Canyon is the place to discover an endless supply of moments that will take your breath away (and those are the moments that count, right?).
