So we've covered the existential dread of the American Midwest and the sheer horror of The Deep South, now let's look at the best region in America that isn't the West Coast, the Southwest. Las Mujeres, a compound wall village on Perry Mesa just north of Phoenix.  The Tucson Mountains in Saguaro National Park.  The top of the Mogollon Rim by Wagner Hill in Arizona.  Sinagua cliff dwellings from AD 1100-1250 in Walnut Canyon outside of Flagstaff.  The Salt River and Tonto Basin viewed from the Upper Cliff Dwelling at Tonto National Monument.  Lookin' out a door in the Upper Cliff Dwelling.  Kinishba in the White Mountains of Arizona during a Summer storm.  Mayhew Lodge ruins in Oak Creek Canyon outside Sedona.  The El Morro water pool in New Mexico during a snow fall in December.  View from the top of El Morro, New Mexico.  The headwaters of the Gila River, New Mexico. Geronimo was born somewhere around here.  A Hohokam ballcourt at Casa Grande Ruins National Monument in Arizona.  The Casa Grande Compound A ruins in Arizona.  The Aldo Leopold Wilderness outside Silver City, New Mexico.  Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde National Park.  The Catalina Mountains outside Tucson in July.  The Sierra Ancha Mountains and Schoolhouse Point platform mound in Arizona at sunset.  Central Phoenix at night viewed from the top of South Mountain.  A valley in the White Tank Mountains in west Phoenix at sunset.  A grasshopper I saw up by Fort Apache.  Aaloosaktukwi outside Flagstaff in July.  The Sunset Crater lava flow outside Flagstaff at sunset.  Wukoki in Wupatki National Monument outside Flagstaff at late afternoon.  The view from the Citadel in Wupatki National Monument.  Lookin' south over the Four Corners from the Cajon Group ruins near Aneth, Utah.  The Dolores River in Dolores, Colorado.  A detached roomblock at Elden Pueblo outside of Flagstaff during a Fall shower.  Lookin' out over the Little Colorado River Valley from Homolovi IV outside Winslow, Arizona.  Lookin' out over the old village plaza across the Little Colorado River Valley from Homolovi II outside Winslow, Arizona.  A little canal by Montezuma's Well in Arizona.  Sleeping Ute Mountain looking east from the Utah side of the Utah/Colorado border.  Apache pictographs in Spirit Canyon, New Mexico.  The Floyd Volcano field looking out from Walavudu ruins in Arizona.  Some rocks in Texas Canyon near Dragoon, Arizona.  Also, we have the dinosaur that killed Dennis Nedry. So yeah the Southwest is pretty drat cool. We've got hiking, forests, deserts, rivers, mountains, history older than those stuffy Virginia dorks and loving dinosaurs. Post your Southwest pictures and stories ITT.
