Two of my favorite trips of all time involved driving through the American Southwest. I just love and am so inspired by the deserts of New Mexico and Arizona. I hope you also may be able to find inspiration in the landscapes of this area I adore so much.

Walk over the Devil’s Bridge in Sedona.

And take in the red rock views.

Visit a castle (Arizona style).

Mountain bike through the red rock formations of Sedona.

Take a postcard-worthy photo.

Experience the Sedona sunset.

Worship.

Reflect and meditate.

Experience the solitude of the desert roads.

Hang out in a meteor crater.

Live on the edge [of the Grand Canyon].

Feel the wind in your hair in the Painted Desert.

Explore the caverns of Carlsbad.

Hang out with some 225 million year old trees.

Experience Albuquerque from 10,679 feet.

Happy Wanderlusting, friends!
