With dramatic landscapes, towering red rock formations, picturesque canyons, and shimmering blue lakes, the American Southwest is a must-visit destination for outdoor enthusiasts and there’s no better way to see it than a road trip! This road trip itinerary takes you through some of the most incredible scenery in the United States, including Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Lake Powell, Monument Valley, and Sedona.

This guide is the result of hours upon hours of planning, research, and my in-person lessons-learned over 2 different trips to the region. The guide includes fun features such as an interactive map, directions that connect directly to your phone’s Google or Apple Maps app, and the exact coordinates to some of my favorite hidden gems & hiking trails.

It lays out instructions to help you plan your perfect trip to this area including:
1. Over 25 outdoor activities (including 19 incredible hikes, the best places to catch sunrise and sunset, slot canyon tours, my favorite kayaking experience I have ever done, secret natural red rock swimming holes, cave hikes with beautiful vistas, and more!)
2. 50+ accommodation suggestions including luxury glamping experiences, upscale airstream rentals, treehouses, cabins with unreal views, tiny home villages, a famous off-the-grid “Kyoob” on a working Navajo sheep ranch, unique AirBnBs, park and private campgrounds for tent or camper van parking, and exactly where I stayed during my own trip!
3. Information and links on how to apply for permits to some of the most famous hikes in the country
4. What airport to fly in and out of, car rental suggestions, and camper van rental sites (if you want to turn this into a camper van road trip!)
5. Hyperlinks to every resource you could need to book your trip directly from the guide
6. Behind the scenes exclusive photos and videos from me
Plus it’s mobile friendly when you download the Thatch App for free so you can easily access all of the info right from your phone!

1. This is a LIVING guide: I will update it as I find more information and discover more places which means you have lifetime access to all updated information as it’s added!
2. I only make guides based on areas I have not only been to but know well! I include both activities that I have done myself as well as those that are on my bucketlist for next time I visit! I will always call out the ones I have not done yet and provide you the exact resources you need to experience them yourself!
3. These guides are completely transparent! You can be sure that all unfiltered opinions I provide are my own 🙃 If I include any sponsored information or affiliate links, I will be sure to call these out directly. I will only include these if they benefit you (such as a discount code or coupon!)

There are so many amazing national parks within driving distance in this area. We have had a lot of people ask us to share our itinerary for this specific trip. So, here is our version of the BEST itinerary for a road trip through the American Southwest.
We took this trip at the end of May into the first week of June. We actually did the trip in the reverse direction that I am going to list here, but you get to learn from our experience. If you travel in late spring or early summer, we feel that the direction below is the best direction. If you travel in late summer or early fall, you would want to reverse the direction.

7 days driving around the picturesque state of Arizona? Yes please! This itinerary will take you to three National Parks (Saguaro, Petrified and Grand Canyon) as well as Antelope Canyon, and Horseshoe bend. The accommodations for this trip are as luxury for each area as we found and include at least one top food spot in each location also. The trip is aimed at a balance of outdoors and luxury. We wanted to be pampered after so much hiking and outdoor activities!
Because we road tripped we chose to bring our cooler. We stopped at some local grocery stores and picked up snacks for the road and light meal options. We didn't eat out 3 meals each day and sometimes we just wanted to be spontaneous and ask our tour guide where to eat next.
The trip is roughly 7 days but you can stay longer or shorter in each place if you choose.

I created this guide for the Airbnb "Hillside Getaway" (link below) with food and outdoor enthusiasts in mind and those wanting to experience the cultural side of Portland.
Although my childhood hometown has changed a lot over the years, Portland is still the vibrant, artsy, cultured city I've always known. The "Rose City" has so much to offer—a great food and music scene, the outdoors, and an independent spirit—surrounded by forests and set between two rivers, the peaks of the Cascades, and the Pacific Ocean. This environmentally conscious city has a good rail system with miles of bike paths and walking trails.
Virtual explorers and trip planners alike, explore Portland with this interactive guide. Check out what to SEE + DO, places to DRIVE + RIDE, and where to EAT + DRINK around this river city in the northwestern corner of Oregon.
This list is far from exhausted and will continue to expand. Click places and links to learn more.
