Is the “90s southwestern outdoorsy” vibe considered GVC?

I recently visited Moab and saw this style everywhere, and it reminded me of Sedona and Santa Fe. I’m not sure how to describe it or if it fits GVC.

Common elements are Kokopelli, petroglyphs, the papyrus font, orange/turquoise/purple, chili peppers, desert motifs, Navajo geometric patterns, and adobe/stucco architecture.

Santa Fe, Sedona, Moab (but in the 90s) aesthetic?

I’m trying to find a name for the aesthetic I find in a lot of touristy SW towns (Moab, Sedona, Santa Fe, other places in Arizona/New Mexico/Colorado) … something that covers architecture, home decor, clothing, etc. Like a name to describe both the decor in a coffee shop with this vibe, and the clothing of its customers.

Lots of Kokopelli, papyrus font, adobe and stucco buildings, turquoise, purple, orange, outdoorsy motifs, chili peppers, and petroglyph style patterns. Clothing would be 90s touristy tee shirts (like in photos) in bright colors, Teva sandals, cargo shorts with a belt, dad caps, and Navajo patterned surf shorts.

Similar to GVC and pastel southwestern, but with both Mexican influences and outdoorsy vibes, but 1980s/90s retro.

I’ve searched the wiki and can’t find anything that fits!
