Roaming the Southwest — A Local’s Guide

Hi, I’m Mallory — a Southwest local who’s spent the last decade exploring Southern Utah’s canyons, parks, and landscapes across the greater Southwest. If you’re planning a trip, this guide was created to help you experience the Southwest like a local — with a focus on Southern Utah.

🌵 Inside you’ll find a curated guide to all FIVE Utah National Parks, the best hikes, exact trailhead locations, scenic drives, state parks, slot canyons, overlooks, and photo spots — plus additional stops across Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Nevada so you can seamlessly expand your trip beyond Utah.

⛰️ Whether you’re building a Southwest road trip, focusing on Southern Utah, or adding in surrounding states, this guide gives you the kind of detail and local insight that helps you plan with confidence and make the most of your time.

✨ If anything feels unclear or you want help refining your trip, I’m always here. Reach out anytime — I want you to have the best experience possible out here.

This Utah guide is incredibly well done and super helpful. The recommendations for the National Parks, State Parks and spots are well thought out and easy to follow. I really think Mallory knows Southern Utah inside and out. Great tips and unique spots you won’t find in typical travel guides. Highly recommended for anyone planning a Utah road trip!

If I could rate our experience with Mallory and the Rexby platform I would give them 10 STARS! My cousin and I took our first hiking trip to UT and we had absolutely no idea where to start. Mallory put together the PERFECT itinerary, making our trip amazing from beginning to end by selecting the best hikes with the most amazing views. We haven't stopped talking about our trip since we got home. We are forever clients. Thank you Mallory for making our Utah trip something we will never forget.

Mallory went out of her way to plan a special trip for us. I knew I was asking a lot of her, when I told her my husband had to be on oxygen, and could not walk or hike very far. I also ask her to include dog friendly places on our itinerary. She came through with great places for our trip that was both easy for my husband to see some gorgeous views and for our pup to get to tag along. She assured me Moab was extremely dog friendly, and they certainly are, water bowls in front of almost all of the shops, and several of the restaurants cater to dogs as well. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Mallory, she responded right away to emails (even while she was in her own vacation), she thought of everything which I was exceptionally grateful for. If you need someone that will guide you on places to see and things to do, I highly recommend Mallory. I will be using her service again for our next trip out West.

Such a fantastic guide! It is so helpful to find the best and off-the-beaten-path places. It is comprehensive, so I can find a wide variety of activities.
