i have to concur with sedona sez

nothing like goin in and out of the good ol' S.S. Sedona, not to mention the scenery in the area,
vegas is cool too, if you can swing through there at night

If you're in S. Utah you've probably already been there, but PAGE, AZ on Lake Powell has some of the most beautiful scenery I've seen from the air. It's on the way to Sedona from where you are.
There's Rainbow Bridge - a natural arch which you can fly over just about 4-5 miles east of Page. You may even get lucky enough to see some wild horses running the top of the mesas around there.

Wendover, NV is pretty cool if you're in to creepy old military bases. They trained the crews for the atomic bombing missions there. There's a little museum dedicated to it. And casinos, of course.

While you're in the neighborhood, you may as well poke on up to Murphy Hot Springs, Idaho. (See post in worst airports). Creepy to the extreme.

Between there and Mountain Home, ID there are some really amazing canyons within a military operations area (not active on weekends) where you can crank and bank and pretend you're a superhero fighter jock for a while.

Hate to be picky, but the airport is actually Wendover, Utah ( ENV ) and it would be a good flight from southern Utah. The Stateline/Silversmith Casino just a short walk from the FBO has a good buffet. As the name suggests, it is right on the State line. The little musuem on the crew of the Enola Gay and Paul Tibbets was put together by a good friend of mine who used to be the airport manager.

The city of Wendover, NV was trying to get congress to redraw the State line so that Wendover, UT and the airport would become part of Nevada. Not sure where that process is but it was being seriously looked at.
