The US Southwest Roadtrip

This route, which starts and ends in Las Vegas, packs a whole lot into 8 days. This doesn’t include the additional 3 days in Las Vegas which we added to the end to rest. Although I would not consider Las Vegas a particularly restful place. Still, it’s nice to stay still for a few days before heading home.
