South West Roadtrip 2019
Any road trip escapade calls for equal amounts of preparation and flying off the script. We teamed up with Topo Designs for an adventure through the American South West to create a travel guide including some hidden treasures and tourist hot spots both, with plenty of room to get lost along the way.
Truth or Consequences, New Mexico
Go with the lesser-traveled T or C, grab yourself a room with an adjacent mineral hot spring pool, and do some geothermic grounding whilst star gazing.
Tuscon, Arizona
Stop by the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun and immerse yourself in the impressionist paint strokes of local artist, the late Ettore "Ted" DeGrazia, whose appreciation of native cultures in the Sonoran Desert continues to bring in thousands of yearly visitors.
Gawk at the towering human-like cacti in Saguaro National Park. If you're lucky, you might stumble upon an artifact left from the Hohokam people.
White Sands National Monument is where you’ll find moon-like gypsum dunes and get lost in a sea of white.
Marfa, Texas
Transport yourself to the twilight zone of the south. See for yourself if the famed Marfa lights reveal themselves to you and fall into a night-long debate with tourists and locals passionate about the 8th-dimensional beings—or distant headlights in front of you.
New Orleans, Louisiana
Stroll into the French Quarter or drop by Voodoo Authentica to set an intention for your stay. Keep a mindful eye about you, but don't hesitate to engage with folks here who’ll be eager to tell you all about the unique food and culture within these historic alleys.
When the sun begins to set, sneak away to a romantic gas lamp-lit meal set at hidden enclave, Green Goddess, before hopping a ride to Frenchmen Street for some vibrant Louisiana blues.
Feel lucky for this life on the road!
