Welcome
We have just added Arizona to our road trip roster — our second state in the southwest!
We now have more than 100 scenic drives in 10 states and are hard at work to bring you drives for every adventure.
Earlier this month, we launched a sign-in feature to the site, which allows you to track your favorite drives, manage your orders, travel reservations, and make it easier than ever to hit the road from your Smartphone. And this is just the start, there’s a lot more to come.
Keep those comments and suggestions coming! We love to hear from you.
Explore Arizona and Utah
Explore the spectacular Colorado Plateau with our newest States, Arizona and Utah!
Arizona
Each of our 11 new Arizona scenic drives offers a chance to revel in the beauty of Arizona where you are sure to see jaw-dropping scenery around every bend. Gasp at crimson desert hues, stand in awe as you peer at gravity-defying rocky outcrops and soak in the divine wonder of the Anasazi cliff dwellings, saguaro cactus forests, and spectacular canyons. Experience the Old West, trout-fish in pristine lakes, hike through millions of years of geology and witness the past and present of the Native American way of life. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing walk or a white-water rafting adventure along the Colorado River, Arizona has it all!

Utah
Touring Utah feels like you’ve been dropped into a land of long ago. Geologic features both solid and surreal scar and soar from the earth. Sun-kissed sandstone cliffs, mesas, buttes, rugged canyons and delicate arches create dramatic silhouettes against open skies. The landscape seems alive, changing color and shape as the light dances across. There are dramatic panoramic views and small details like moss growing on the inside of a cave that combine to create an unimaginable majestic beauty.
