9The Southwest
The American Southwest is a region defined by red rocks, arid deserts, and stunning canyons. Spanning parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Nevada, this region is home to some of the country’s most iconic natural wonders, such as the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley. The vast desert landscapes, dotted with towering rock formations and colorful mesas, provide an otherworldly beauty that feels timeless.
In Utah, the five national parks known as the “Mighty 5”—Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches, and Canyonlands—offer extraordinary hiking and sightseeing opportunities with their unique rock formations, arches, and canyons.
