I recently discovered the rugged and spectacular beauty of the southwest, particularly Arizona and Utah. I am officially in love and willing to share my love with all of you! Here are some of my favorite American southwest sights.
Just. Go. Here
The Red Rocks of Sedona, taken excitedly from a fast moving car.
There are wineries in SedonaThe hiking in Sedona is amazing!This incredible and just a little scary structure is called Devil’s Bridge. My mother and I got lost coming back from this place and almost had to spend the night in the desert. Hilarious story, really.
This is Bell Rock. A beautiful and slightly less exciting hike than Devil’s Bridge. Virtually impossible to get lost, even for me.This is the Bell Rock hiking area.
I only managed to do 2 hikes but there are tons of great Sedona hikes!
It’s the freaking Grand Canyon! I cried when I saw it. For real tears. It’s so grand and overwhelming. Totally deserves its name.
It’s really colorful as well as huge.
Dude, it’s REALLY big
Ahh, a sunset drive through Zion National Park, Utah.
Zion at sunset is a religious experience
Bryce Canyon is breathtaking
These weird rocks are called hoodoos and are formed by water eroding the rock.Hoodoos come in many shapes and sizes and are always super cool!This is what you see when you hike as high as you can go.There is even seating that is semi-safe. Just don’t move too much!This hike is called “wall street”Never miss an opportunity to be angelically bathed in light
When you make it to the top, you feel pretty super!I mean…seriously. Can you even?
