I never travelled in an area, in which there are as many highlights and as close together. Sure: the northwest of USA, Australia or other countries have to offer overwhelming nature. But not like that. Grand Canyon, Arches NP, Bryce Canyon are the absolute must-do's. In addition you have Canyonlands, Mesa Verde, Zion NP, Monument Valley and much much more. It's a shame that the normal vacation time is only three weeks. Three months would be more appropriate for this area.

My favorite was Arches Nationalpark. A perfect day with perfect weather. On second place: Grand Canyon, it rained a bit that day.

Yes, I say it again. I haven't been to the southwest - to cancon country - for the last time. See you soon, canyons.
