Plano's Spring Vacation-Arizona
So, in light of the fact that there are absolutely NO boats available to sell in 2021, Plano and his wife are taking a 2 week trip to explore ALL of Arizona.
Doing a full day in Tucson with my KU roommate.
Rented a Jeep for 2 full days in Sedona.
Headed to Tombstone and Bisbee for day.
I have been to the Grand Canyon a dozen times, spent 3 days on the Colorado River at both Havasu and Yuma last year...so those are out.
What else would folks that live there or visit there recommend?

Re: Plano's Spring Vacation-Arizona
I'd spend more time in Sedona. 3-4 days. Plenty of Native American ruins to explore, too.
I really like Lake Pleasant, but wouldn't want to drag a boat around for 2 weeks.
Petrified Forest is ok for an afternoon if you happen to be driving through.
Other than that, I pretty much just drink by the pool when there.

My only experience with AZ is Havasu so can’t be a ton of help.
We boated and camped right on the lake, which was cool. Hang by a fire with a line in the water, some monster catfish throughout the night.
The city itself is kinda weird - mostly old snowbirds driving around off road vehicles, cuz that’s a thing there.
I feel like I’m forgetting something...I’ll ask the buddy who lived there

i would say Havasupai, but not something you can do on short notice, unless you wanna pop for the helicopter ride
i’ve had family living the AZ almost my entire life, and on all my visits there’s no more beautiful part of the state that i’ve seen

I have a friend who kayaked down (up?) the Colorado River to Emerald Cave today.

Re: Plano's Spring Vacation-Arizona
We Jeeped Schnebly Hill, that connects to Oak Creek. It is a Jeep rated Badge Of Honor Trail....badass. Those mountains are so much more impressive when you are directly under them.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 7:28 ami hope you took the drive up Oak Creek CanyonOverlander wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 11:57 pmBeen there several times.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 5:07 pm i would say Havasupai, but not something you can do on short notice, unless you wanna pop for the helicopter ride

My wife got her first wheel time on Soldiers Pass Trail. I am not sure I will ever get to drive my Jeep off road again. She loved it!

Re: Plano's Spring Vacation-Arizona
sounds like a blast
it’s been too long since i’ve been down there. a brother did his undergrad at NAU, and he had an ‘85 4Runner. top off on those jeep trails was too much fun

No doubt. I get the feel that Plano might end up retiring to the Catalina FoothillsTraditionKU wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 11:03 am sounds like a blast
