Where's the best place to go in Nevada, Arizona or New Mexico?

Question

I want to go to a place with sand and plateau like rocks, the kind of stuff you see in old westerns.

Answer 1

Try Monument Valley in northern Arizona. The rock monuments in this area have been featured in many westerns such as "The Searchers" with John Wayne. This area is on the Navajo reservation and is very remote.

Answer 2

Well, NEw MExico has quite a bit of scenery, tho not a lot of plateaus. Arizona has quite a few of those, and so does Nevada. Arizona is very beautiful, with a lot of desert beauty, but New Mexico is quite vague.

Answer 3

Meteor Crater outside of Flagstaff Arizona is AWESOME!

Would also recommend Vegas, Grand Canyon, Carlsbad Caverns and Hoover Dam!

Answer 4

Hi,,, lets see.... in Arizona,, go to the grand canyon... north of flagstaff,,,, and then in flagstaff go east on the interstate to copper canyon,, they have a pueblo villiage there to see in the cliffs,,,,, you can walk around it,,, if you are in good shape....
also the painted desert is near by there.......
In New Mexico,,, try Chaco canyon... its really neet and go on to the carlsbad caverns also.....

in Nevada,,check out Ely or Eurika,, you will like that ....

good luck

Answer 5

Try Grand Canyon in AZ if you have never been too. Go down the trek to colorado river. Be prepared, its very exhausing both going down and coming up.

Cheers. Have fun.

Answer 6

For the things you are looking for Tucson AZ is probably the best. The Grand Canyon is also in AZ. It's really nice there.

Answer 7

New Mexico
