What do?
We'll be starting in Paige, staying a couple days in Flagstaff, and finishing trip near Sedona. What activities, landmarks, food do you reccomend? Maybe we could dinner and swap patches?

Honanki and Palatki Indian Ruins are interesting.
Schnebly Hill Vista Overlook has a great view, but you either need to hike up it or have a high clearance vehicle. The red rocks around the Broken Arrow Trail are cool. Sunset crater near Flagstaff Drive up to Snowbowl The lava tubes are fun If you are into the stars, Lowell Observatory is interesting. Shultz Pass road is a fun drive. |

Page, not Paige. Prescott is pronounced Pres-kitt lest you will be tagged as a tourist.
Lots of stuff to do and see in AZ. Practically everywhere you go will be like a postcard. ETA - Meteor Crater is up that way, but I'm not paying $20 to see the hole. |

Walnut Canyon National Monument near Flagstaff is interesting as a canyon and its Indian ruins. |

Stop by gunsite in Paulden the birthplace of modern pistol training. pro Shop for a few trinkets. I highly recommend planning a future trip for a full gunsite training class.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mmsSierra: .... Shultz Pass road is a fun drive. Agreed, but Schultz pass is currently closed following Tunnel/Pipeline fire and flooding. OP when are you visiting? Winter is pushing a little late this year, had a bit of snow just the other day. |

The original Arizonans had speech impediments evidently... JUST KIDDING! A bit out of your way, but La Posada was an old train stop and hotel that has been renovated. It is in Winslow and it is probably the ONLY thing in Winslow you will want to see. https://laposada.org/ The restaurant there is quite good! |

Been here for well over 50years - Scottsdale is "Scottsdell", never heard it the other way. Also called Snottsdale - lots of money up there.
In Flag the Lowell Observatory is FANTASTIC if you take the night time tour, well worth the effort. Meteor Crater I figured would be a bust - had a good time there for a few hours. Black Bart's singing steakhouse is also a lot of fun. Come down to the upper Valley and find the International Musical Instrument Museum. Sounds boring - is anything BUT. |
