As you can imagine, a road trip to the Southwestern U.S. is filled with natural wonders that are protected by National Parks. Here is chronologically, the list of all the parks we visited, along with other marvels from Mother Nature.
As I started writing this post, I tried to decide which parks I most loved, in an attempt to give you an indication of what to prioritize in case you were planning a short trip there, but it was simply impossible to pick. I was breath taken by all of them. The landscapes are so different, so perfect, so unique and truly spectacular in their own way. Some of them, like Grand Canyon, look like the most spectacular paintings; others, like Saguaro National Park look like something out of a magical and romantic tale. I found myself speechless each time, as my jaw dropped to the sand in front of the picturesque and impressive beauty that was standing in front of me. Take a look at the photo diary I have compiled on this post!
