Southwest United States contains more than its fair share of natural wonders: The Grand Canyon, Arches National Park, and Mesa Verde are only three of the most famous of dozens of red rock attractions that draw people from all over the world.
Despite the southwest's image as a sprawling flatland desert it is one of the most transitionary regions in The United States. The southwest starts high in the Wasatch and Rocky Mountains and descends into the dramatic bluffs and mesas before emptying out on the flatlands of the Rio Grande. The regions dry climate and dramatic red rock landscapes help tie the region together despite the drastic elevation differences.
The region experiences the full range of climate extremes from 100-115 degrees Fahrenheit (38-46°C) in the summer down to sub zero in the northernmost regions in the winter. The dry cold conditions in the northern mountainous regions make for what is arguably the best skiing in the world. Dozens of ski resorts in Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico allow you to take advantage of this great natural resource.
The southwest mixs the hospitality of the south with the romance of the Wild West. The southwest has a strong culture both ancient and modern and it is hard to escape the rugged charm of the people.
