Hello, Thanks for sharing—there are so many places to visit and so little time! And yes, after the Grand Canyon, we’re planning to head to Page and try to visit Antelope Canyon. I’ll need to book that, as well as Horseshoe Bend. On the plane, an American woman was also telling me about those two spots, so your reply confirms that part of the route for me. We haven’t decided yet whether to go from Page to Zion or head to Monument Valley. We’ll see how we feel tomorrow—it’s 6:20 PM here right now, and the trip’s been long. We took a short walk and can dive into new adventures tomorrow! It’s great to get tips and feedback from fellow travelers. Thanks, Ruby

Thanks Dennis, I’ll definitely keep your thoughts on Scottsdale, Sedona, and Prescott in mind. Have you been to Oak Creek? I’ve heard the hikes there are really nice. I’ll see if we can stop by for a short, easy walk... Have a great day, Ruby

Hi Dennis, Thanks for the info... Phoenix is in the news right now, huh? :) But I don’t think I’ll go see the Kirk tribute—I’d rather check out the Heard Museum. Have a great day! Ruby

Good evening Evajules and Biggie, Thanks for your advice. It's true that we did it once a long time ago with our rental car, but I don’t think I’ll risk it if it’s raining. I’ll stay cautious and avoid adding to the bill :) Thanks again, and see you next time, Ruby

Hi there, We decided this week to use our miles for a trip to Phoenix. We're putting our itinerary together in a hurry, and it's not coming together at all. I'd really appreciate some help if possible, please.

Back in 2007, we did a classic trip: LA, Joshua Tree, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Bryce, Zion, Las Vegas, Yosemite, and San Francisco. This time, we only have two weeks and don’t want to rush from one place to another...

(*-sites not yet visited) Arriving in Phoenix tomorrow morning - Monday the 14th - and leaving for Paris on Monday the 29th. - 14/09: Phoenix* - 2 nights to recover from the trip > Heard Museum, Botanical Garden, Downtown... - 16th: Flagstaff* (Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot Nat. Monument along the way) - 17th-20th: 3 nights at Grand Canyon - Maswik And here’s where it starts getting really messy: - 21st, 22nd... Monument Valley - 23rd... Canyon de Chelly* - 24th, 25th: Petrified Forest, Painted Desert* - 26th-27th: Sedona* - lots of hiking options - 28th: Evening in Phoenix, flight at 3 PM

If Monument Valley isn’t very doable this week because of rain, maybe it’d be better to go somewhere else, like straight to Canyon de Chelly, or even completely different—Zion (great hikes), Valley of Fire, Las Vegas, a night somewhere to break up the drive, Sedona, and then depart from Phoenix. Since this trip is last-minute, we’re a bit disorganized and would really appreciate any advice. Aside from Phoenix and the Grand Canyon, we haven’t booked any hotels yet, so it’s still flexible.

Thanks so much in advance!! Ruby

Hi everyone, I’m planning to visit Monument Valley next Saturday after 3 days at the Grand Canyon. I saw on navajonationparks.org that some roads can be tricky during rainy periods. Is anyone there right now who could tell me what the road conditions are like in the park and whether it’s impassable with a regular rental car? Thanks so much in advance, Ruby
