Road tripping around Southwest America is like taking the scenic route to everywhere. The beautiful surrounding area makes it hard not to find a pretty picturesque road stop. I live on the East Coast, so it’s always a marvel to see these vast formations of red-rock mountains in the desert. I think sometimes living in the city makes me forget how gorgeous the simple things in life are. Everything is so much more slower-paced here, plus if you are a nature lover – there are a ton of breathtaking state and national parks to choose from! ~b
