The West: Self Drive Holidays in Nevada, Arizona & Utah

From neon cities to red rock canyons, the American West delivers landscapes and legends in equal measure.

The West is a land of staggering contrasts — where glittering desert cities give way to vast red-rock landscapes and timeless wilderness. Across Nevada, Arizona, and Utah, travellers encounter some of the most iconic scenery in the USA. Marvel at the sheer scale of the Grand Canyon, watch the sun rise over Monument Valley’s sandstone towers, or journey through the surreal colours of the Painted Desert. This region is where classic Western movies were born and where Route 66 once carved its legendary path across the desert, offering glimpses of ghost towns, trading posts, and big skies that stretch forever.

But it’s not all wilderness — the West is also home to vibrant cities filled with excitement and energy. Las Vegas shines as a world-class destination for entertainment, dining, and nightlife, while also serving as a gateway to some of America’s greatest national parks. Luxury resorts, desert spas, and spectacular shows await, while the surrounding landscapes promise adventure at every turn. Whether you’re exploring the slot canyons of Utah, driving the Grand Circle, or following the Extraterrestrial Highway past Area 51, this is the true heart of the American frontier — wild, cinematic, and endlessly inspiring.

Historic Accommodation

We want you to experience the real feel of Route 66 and you’ll stay in restored historic hotels and motels in some locations. Should you prefer modern hotels we are happy to swap these for you.

Route 66 is not about driving on the interstate, it is about taking your time on the original route. We’ll tell you the best way to enjoy the trip by stopping at the best locations, diners and museums

We give back to Route 66

We’re active members of several state Route 66 associations and try to help those businesses which make the trip so special. You can help too by eating in a family run diner instead of a burger chain
