White Rim Road is located in the Canyonlands National Park where the landscape is an amazing burnt orange colour. As far as the eye can see are rock structures and eye-catching formations that are typically staggered. This is not for the faint-hearted and is completely off road. Don’t be fooled by the name, because this place is anything but white!

Note: VroomVroomVroom does not allow their hire cars to be taken off road.

Surprisingly, the Valley of Fire is located only an hour out of Las Vegas. As menacing as the name sounds, the Valley of Fire picks up it’s name from the bright red sandstone formations that were created more than 100 million years ago spread across this National Park. It’s hard to believe how close this stunning natural landscape is to the bustling Las Vegas when you are driving through the gorgeous and undisturbed desert.
