Southwest

The Southwestern US region includes Arizona and New Mexico, along with portions of California, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma, and Texas.

For this travel blog, 👉 Arizona blog posts are in their own category.

Here, you’ll find Solo Trips and Tips blog posts covering Las Vegas, Nevada; New Mexico; Southern Utah, including Cedar City and all 5 Utah national parks: Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and Zion; Cedar Breaks National Monument; and Dead Horse Point State Park.

Late fall, winter, and spring are generally the best seasons for exploring the American Southwest.
