The South West<br />
The geographic region of the South West<br />
covers Arizona, New Mexico and parts of<br />
California, Colorado, Nevada, Oklahoma,<br />
Texas and Utah. Two of its largest cities are<br />
Las Vegas and Phoenix, both of which provide<br />
the most common entry points for visitors<br />
from the UK. The South West is home to more<br />
than five national parks, exceptional wildlife<br />
and one of the largest geological formations<br />
on Earth. Hike up mighty mountains, look<br />
down on enchanting desert scenes, join an<br />
authentic cowboy experience, and learn about<br />
the traditions of one of the many indigenous<br />
tribes that call this land home. The sprawling<br />
landscapes, the big skies, the impressive rock<br />
formations and the deep history entice many<br />
to come and visit this part of the country.<br />

Monument Valley<br />
The Grand Canyon Zion National Park<br />
Setting for many Hollywood films • Fascinating<br />
Navajo history • Striking sandstone formations<br />
Located on the border of Arizona and Utah,<br />
Monument Valley is famous for its monolithic,<br />
otherworldly sandstone formations. Thanks to<br />
these striking Mars-red buttes and dramatic<br />
desert panoramas, it has served as the setting<br />
for many a Hollywood blockbuster. The valley<br />
is also a Navajo Tribal Park, and has been the<br />
home of Navajo families for generations. Most<br />
of the major monuments can be seen along<br />
a 27-kilometre dirt road. However, to explore<br />
further, you will need to hire a Navajo guide.<br />
Many different ways to see & experience •<br />
One of the world's most spectacular canyons<br />
Stretching 446 kilometres from end to end<br />
and reaching a maximum depth of almost two<br />
kilometres, the Grand Canyon is a colossal<br />
natural phenomenon that must be seen to<br />
be believed. There are three main rims to the<br />
canyon – the South, North and West – with<br />
the South Rim the most popular access point,<br />
and where you can drive on a forty-kilometre<br />
stretch of road that runs along the canyon<br />
edge. At the West Rim, visitors can experience<br />
the Grand Canyon Skywalk.<br />
Rainbow-colored rock layers • Variety of<br />
wildlife & plants • Range of hikes<br />
Just a two-hour drive from Las Vegas lies Zion<br />
National Park, known for its steep, jagged<br />
cliffs, emerald pools and arid landscapes.<br />
There are many rewarding hikes that can<br />
be taken by the more adventurous traveller,<br />
either independently or with a guide. The<br />
park is within a deep valley whose elevated<br />
vantage points provide gorgeous views across<br />
the canyon. Rock formations seem to change<br />
colour as the sun rises and falls, glowing<br />
different shades of orange and red.<br />
Las Vegas<br />
Famous evening entertainment • Large &<br />
elaborate hotels • World-class shows<br />
Las Vegas is world-renowned for its casinos,<br />
fine dining and neon-lit entertainment. Visitors<br />
can select from a wide range of hotels, some of<br />
which are very unusual, and it is worth staying<br />
in the city for a few nights. In the evening, a<br />
variety of dazzling shows delight audiences<br />
here, including performances by Cirque du<br />
Soleil, famous illusionists and celebrated<br />
singers-in-residence. There are frequent<br />
direct flights from the UK to Las Vegas with a<br />
duration of under 11 hours.<br />
