The area collectively referred to as the West is essentially comprised of four states – New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Nevada.

Possibly, the most incredible list of recognisable places and names from television, film and song are located within the borders. Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Arches National Park, Carlsbad Caverns, Santa Fe, Salt Lake City......

The diversity in this region has to be seen – and experienced – to be believed.

The arid deserts of Arizona with their majestic cactus forests and unique wildlife. The lush mountain spring wildflower meadows of Utah and the tranquil solitude of Monument Valley. The majesty of the stalactite-bedecked Carlsbad Caverns and the slightly wacky Roswell. And of course, the joyous assault on the senses that is Las Vegas.

No where else in the USA will you experience the wide open space and power of Mother Nature that you will in America's West. It's as enchanting as it is mesmerising.
