You MUST visit the metoeorite impact crater and Petrified Forest parks east of Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon! Awesome sites!! And don't forget to loop back though Washington, DC to view the cherry blossoms and test drive one or both of my 123 300TD station wagons. :)) On Sun, Mar 14, 2010 at

It's been a long, long time since I visited the Grand Canyon, but it's a day trip, more or less -- an hour or so from Flagstaff, I think, there is going to be lots of traffic, quite a bit to see, etc. You could do it in half a day, I think, if you drove ti with only a stop or two. If you

That's a lot of driving. From Flagstaff, it takes about an hour to get to the Grand Canyon. When you guys come it will be pretty crowded. To see it correctly it will take most of a day. Hiking is the best way to see the place. If you guys are hikers, going down to Bright Angel, eating lunch, then

It looks like you may be biting off more than you may really want to chew. In other words, you may need a vacation when you get home, so that you can recuperate. You might find yourself more satisfied with visiting less than half the places you have on your list of places to visit - I mean, really

Grand Canyon is doable in four minutes, but you should take a few hours to really have a look. Maybe a burro ride to the bottom, or check out the natives. Have some lunch. Go for the local cuisine in Amarillo and Santa Fe. Nothing like good BBQ in TX or southwest mexi food in Santa Fe.
