Wow, does the Southwest United States have a lot to offer in terms of outdoor activities, camping, and hiking!  Keep in mind that drive times are long in the wild west, as a lot of this part of the country is a vast desert. For this area, I’d recommend a road trip flying into the major cities of Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Las Vegas, or Santa Fe. If you decide to spend some time in "Sin City", don't forget there is lots of hiking near Las Vegas.
