Western USA Holidays

Encompassing the states of Nevada, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico, this expansive and sparsely populated region remains an isolated frontier land. Barren flatlands, prominent Native American history, remote mining settlements and spectacular red-rock landscapes evoke images of the American west. However, this is also a region of top-secret bases, alleged extraterrestrial life and the unabashed entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas. For many, the national parks are a major draw and from Arizona’s majestic Grand Canyon and Monument Valley to the stunning geology of Utah’s Zion National Park and the wind-sculpted vivid-red sandstone of Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada, the landscapes are extraordinary. Perfect driving country, travel lonely roads and historic highways through pioneer towns and under big skies back to civilisation and the neon lights and lavish casinos of the ultimate desert city, Las Vegas.
