Passed through there once on the way around the Grand Canyon, and while we saw some impressive sights, I have no doubt whatever that we would have seen many, many more had we gotten off the highway. It is a beautiful area, that is for sure.
I can also assure you that the entire Southwest has vast tracts of land where there simply are no roads. If you want to really see that part of the continent, you will have to climb out of your vehicle and do some hiking. And if you do that, be sure you take along the necessary gear to find your way back, as it is easy to get badly (and possibly fatally) lost. You will be rewarded, however, by the chance to see things more incredible than you can possibly imagine.
