With so many wonderful things to do and see in the South Western part of the United States, this is sure a destination you will want to visit over and over again. My husband and I make the trip every other year.
Traveling to the Southwestern United States offers a diverse and captivating experience with its stunning landscapes, vibrant cities, and rich cultural heritage.
Our favorite destinations include...
Grand Canyon, Arizona: We have hiked the rim trails, taken a helicopter tour, and rafted in the Colorado River.
Sedona, Arizona:Enjoy the red rock formations and spiritual energy. Hike the scenic trails, visit art galleries, and experience the unique vortex sites. We crossed the Devil's Bridge on our last visit. Stunning!
Santa Fe, New Mexico:Immerse yourself in Santa Fe's rich art scene and adobe architecture. Explore the historic Plaza, visit art museums, and savor Southwestern cuisine.
Antelope Canyon, Page, Arizona:Discover the stunning slot canyons of Antelope Canyon. Guided tours provide opportunities for capturing the mesmerizing light beams. The guides will even take photos for you during your tour! You can see the upper and lower canyons in the same day.
Monument Valley, Utah/Arizona:Explore the iconic red sandstone buttes and mesas of Monument Valley. We hiked around the left mitt, just 4.5 miles! You can even stay right in the park and wake up to this beautiful view each morning.
Jemez Springs, New Mexico: Take a dip in the hot springs in the bath house!
Zion National Park, Utah:Hike among the towering red rock formations in Zion National Park. The Narrows and Angel's Landing are popular trails.
Albuquerque, New Mexico:Experience the unique charm of Albuquerque. Visit Old Town, take a hot air balloon ride, and attend the annual International Balloon Fiesta if timing allows.
Try New Mexican dishes like green chile stew, blue corn mush or Navajo tacos.
One of the BEST Road Trips! You can explore the vast and diverse landscapes along iconic routes like Route 66 or the scenic byways in the region..
