The southwest United States encompasses Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Texas. With more sunshine than any other United States city--about 350 days a year—Tucson, Arizona is at the top of places to live for sun-worshippers. The Southwest experiences temporal extremes with 100-125*F summers and winters that can reach below 0*F in the northernmost areas. This weather makes for a prefect destination year round with some of the best skiing during the winter and the best hiking, camping, backpacking, hunting and fishing, and water sports in the spring and summer months.  The beauty of the Southwest is evident in the landscape. Some United States' best natural wonders are found in the Southwest--the Grand Canyon in Arizona, Arches National Park in Utah, and Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico. These awe inspiring attractions draw people from all over the world. The dramatic red rock landscapes and the flatlands of the Rio Grande are unique to the Southwest. This growing desert region is also a diverse mixture of Spanish, Native American, Mexican and contemporary American cultures. You must experience the Southwest in person to truly appreciate its distinct culture and beauty.
