Vast Open Roads

Looking to escape your traffic jammed city? Head over to Arizona where even their “rush hour” is minimal compared to that of Los Angeles. Want even more remote roads? Head over to the middle of the desert where you will come across dirt roads through beautiful landscapes. Take a drive through Saguaro National Park where you can admire the world’s largest cacti.
