Hi!\u00a0 Here we are, the tour guides and\u00a0designers of\u00a0BackRoadsWest.com<\/a>.\u00a0 We hope that you enjoy coming along with us on our virtual tours\u00a0and that, after doing so,\u00a0you’ll feel inspired to go and visit these places for\u00a0yourself.<\/p>

Our travels often take us into our big backyard called the Mojave Desert.\u00a0 Sometimes we venture out of our home in Southern\u00a0Utah and sometimes we even venture outside of the USA where we visit such places as New Zealand or Europe.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

But no matter where we travel, though, our goals for exploring are always the same….\u00a0stay away from the popular, crowded and often over-rated spots and, instead, seek out the quieter, lesser-known, off-the-beaten path places.\u00a0 When we do come home from our travels, and it’s too hot or too cold to be out\u00a0exploring, we’ll be sitting in front of our computers adding to this blog.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/span><\/h2>\n
