That's what it is, Mingus. Could not remember.

Hell, that would be a cool cruise to take with a big mustang caravan.

Ahh, that changes things then if youre flying in. So, on the way north to the Grand Canyon, theres Montezuma Castle NM then Montezuma Well NM. You said last time you did Sedona. But, if you didnt drive north from Sedona, you need to this time so you can carve Oak Creek Canyon on SR 89. Then on to Flagstaff, then Williams to spend the night. Grand Canyon the next day. If youre not hiking the rim, back to Flag that night. Next day is Wupatki NM, then Sunset Crater, then Walnut Canyon. Then on east to Petrified Forest. On the way there is Homolovi Ruins State Park. Also Meteor Crater, but really its a waste. 15$ to get in. Its privately owned and I never have liked that. It should be a National Monument. You dont get to hike to the bottom and self hikes on the rim were discontinued several years ago. Theres an hour guided hike that goes about a quarter of the way around the rim now. Stay the night in Holbrook. Next day is Petrified Forest NP. A FAR better value than Meteor Crater. Then back to Phoenix. Come back on I 40 then back down 89 so you get BOTH sides of carving up Oak Creek Canyon. Stay on 89 to Cottonwood, Clarkdale. Now you could stay the night there and ride the Verde Canyon Railroad or just keep on to Jerome. Youll need to allow at least a half day for Jerome. Then its up and over Mingus Mountain to Prescott then east to Prescott Valley and back to I 17 to Phx.

Yep. Nine of us from 2005Stang.com did it last Nov 3. Dave (fazm) was with us in his now departed 03 Cobra because his V6 wasnt travel ready at the time.

I want to go back for sure, but to have the best chance at enjoying the road like it should be, it would have to be a height of summer, middle of the week trip because the traffic was just crap. Its NOT fun crawling along behind old farts in Buicks, timid SUV Yuppies and RVs.
