The Southwest boasts America's greatest concentration of National Parks.  Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, Arches, Canyonlands, Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Mesa Verde National Parks are known collectively as the "Grand Circle."  This inner circle of parks is found on the Colorado Plateau, which covers 134,000 square miles and is arguably the most beautiful natural feature on earth.  Surrounding the Colorado Plateau is an outer ring of equally special places to visit, such as Rocky Mountain National Park, located at the gateway points into the region. The traditional "Grand Circle Vacation Tour" consists of a 700 mile loop drive around the Colorado Plateau, requiring a minimum of one full week.  The American Southwest is also home to a rich history which blends Native American, Hispanic and Anglo cultures.  You'll want to spend a little time getting to know the locals and experiencing the flavors of this unique region.

Perhaps the ultimate way to explore the Grand Circle is to travel the Southwest by motorhome and allow 3-4 weeks for your adventure.  If there are four or more in your party, you will find RV travel for your southwest vacation can be very cost effective compared to renting a car and staying in hotels -- since you can also save money by cooking in the RV.  If that sounds great but you don't happen to own an RV, you can always rent an RV.

To get the full southwest experience, you'll need to spend a little time in town.  That's why we've included complete sections for Sedona, Flagstaff, Page, Cortez, Durango, Moab, Santa Fe Silverton, Telluride and Taos. 

If you're planning on flying into the region, you'll probably enter thru one of the region's glittering cities:  Denver, Phoenix, Salt Lake, Albuquerque or Las Vegas.
