Description
The American Southwest attracts a special kind of traveller. The vast expanses and terrible natural beauty intimidate some, but inspire others who love the region. The hardy cultures that have settled here-Indians, Hispanics and all those affectionately lumped together as "Anglos"-share this fascinating mix of self-reliance and humility that the landscape instills.
Not all of the Southwest is somber, of course; there is plenty of fun to be had. To the lover of the outdoors, the entire region is a playground. To the gambler, Las Vegas is a mecca. To the tourist, the Grand Canyon may well be the ultimate sight. To the student of Native American Culture, the area offers art. ceremony and reservations the size of New England.
