🌵 Southwest
Cruise through Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Nevada on epic road trips. Discover red rock canyons, desert plateaus, and historic Southwest highways.
The Southwest is a land of bold colors, vast horizons, and ancient stories etched into stone. From Arizona’s cactus-lined highways to the red rock canyons of Utah, this region is tailor-made for epic road trips. With every mile, the scenery shifts—from high desert plateaus to deep gorges, salt flats to forested mountains—making it one of the most visually dynamic regions in the United States.
In Arizona and New Mexico, historic routes like U.S. 66 and U.S. 60 weave through sun-baked towns and dramatic landscapes filled with Native American and Old West history. You’ll pass through places where the past feels just a step away—abandoned trading posts, mission churches, and ancient cliff dwellings. Meanwhile, cities like Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Phoenix provide vibrant detours full of culture, art, and food.
Utah and Nevada offer some of the most otherworldly drives in America. Cruise through Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, or the Bonneville Salt Flats, and you’ll understand why so many filmmakers choose this region to stand in for distant planets. Whether you’re following scenic byways or remote backroads, the Southwest is all about scale, solitude, and the kind of beauty that humbles you behind the wheel.
