Rock out in Canyon Country
With iconic landscapes, amazing hiking trails and Instagram-worthy views, the red rocks of 'canyon country' are unmissable.
The Southwestern states of the USA are home to some of the most visually recognisable ‘red rock’ national parks in the country. At Monument Valley, you can recreate classic Western movies against the iconic backdrop, or take an adventure into the Navajo tribal lands to discover more about their history and culture. A backcountry 4x4 drive is an incredible way to get completely off the beaten track.
In the depths of Bryce Canyon, stare up in awe at the magical ‘hoodoos’ – towering red rock spires that reach up to the sky. Hike your way out of the canyon for a completely different perspective. Make your way through the striking red vistas of Arches National Park. Set in the Moab desert, it’s the perfect spot for adventure seekers – with the best ways to explore including by mountain bike or on horseback.
If you like a bit of a challenge (and have a head for heights), make your way up Angel’s Landing for picture-perfect panoramic views. If you’re keeping on solid ground, a walk through the Narrows will give you the chance to get your feet wet! Oh, and don’t forget that little known place they call the Grand Canyon...
