America's Southwest is a hive of adventure and exploration. From remote hikes to unreal photo ops, it’s the perfect region for escaping the tourist path. You’ll find hidden gems, local eats, and jaw-dropping views around every bend. Best part? We bring our dogs everywhere—every trail, campsite, and photo spot we feature is dog-friendly unless noted (and about 95% of them are).
We include the best times to shoot, what to pack (water, sun protection, layers, and pup essentials), any entry fees, nearby campsites—from developed to wild—and whether you’ll need a 4x4 to get there. If you’re after quiet trails, epic sunsets, and real freedom, this is the Southwest the way it’s meant to be—curious, off-grid, and a little dusty. There’s something magical about discovering a place that still feels untouched, and we’re here to help you find it.
