U.S. Southwest

Well, either you like rocks and hot, dry weather or you don’t. The southwestern states aren’t the most inviting places to live, but the size and the color range of the mountains and vistas are awesome, and the cities still have a rough frontier charm.

If You Go: Mountain Parks
If you go, bring water, bring grippy shoes, and wear a hat. If you don’t want to do those things, stay in your car and turn up the air-con. There are dry bones on the rocks for a reason!
