Where should I go in Arizona? Question: Where are the best places to go in Arizona? My boyfriend and I are taking a trip to Arizona. We are flying in to Pheonix and planning on renting a car. I've heard that Sedona is cool but which is better to stay in Pheonix or check out Sedona. We both enjoy the outdoor and would like to hike and/or kayak while we are there, but we want to check out some nightlife too. We are only going to be in town for 4 days. Any help would be great!! Answer: Sedona is great, you can always just do a day trip since you are renting a car. Sedona is a great place for hiking, shopping, some water play. I would recommend staying in Phoenix. There's hiking at several different mountains. You can kayak I believe at the Salt River. Scottsdale and Tempe are the best places for nightlife if you like clubbing and bars. |

Does anyone know of a good place to camp in Arizona? Question: We recently went camping and were not happy with the campground (Pine Flat West near Sedona). It was right of the highway, I mean we could see the cars from our site! We are willing to drive about 2-2.5 hours from phoenix. We are a family of 4, with 3 kids age 3 & 5. So we are looking for a place with bathrooms, and a place for the kids to swim and fish. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Answer: i live in mesa try going to TONTO CREEK, outside of payson is good. we just go up by forest lakes but we go into the middle of nowhere |

Car rental for family trip to Arizona: what coverage(insurance waiver theft etc) should I request? Question: I am travelling to Phoenix and Sedona with my family next year. I am now requesting quotes from major rental companies but I am hopeless when it comes to tick the boxes for insurances etc. Can you advise me on the good average coverage to choose ? And have you had a good experience with one of the companies? any of them you recommend? many thanks Answer: You may not need the coverage. If you have an auto insurance policy of your own, check with your company to see if coverage applies to the rental. If so, you don't need extended liability insurance. What credit card will you use? Some credit card companies automatically provide coverage for the collision and comprehensive deductible, if you use the card to rent the car. Check with your credit card company, or get a card that provides the service. |

I will recommend doing the Red Rock Canyon - Bonnie Springs Ranch - Hoover Dam - Lake Mead self guided tour. It's less driving and the kids will love Bonnie Springs. |

This is how you remind me. This is how you remind me of what I really am. It's not like you to say, "Sorry"? Question: I just heard this song in my car and had to crank it up. Nickleback. It has been a long time since I heard that song. I always think of a certain guy when I hear this song. I have the CD, but haven't played it because it is a bittersweet memory. What you want to know? Ok, I'll tell you. I was living in Sedona, Arizona. Beautiful place, heaven on earth. Met this guy who came into town to visit his folks that retired there. They lived across the street from me. We went out and had such a great time - it was like a knew him for ages. I had to go to Lake Havasu the next day for family stuff (about 3 hrs away) and he said he always wanted to go there. So I said "Let's go". We had the best time and I think it was the ony time my older brother approved of any of my dates. (He is very protective). That CD just came out and I kept wanting to hear this song. Before he sailed off into the sunset, he gave me that CD. That is how he reminds me. Anyone have a story like this? A song that brings back fond memories of a potential love and maybe what could have been? Oh no! It looks like everyone is misinterpreting what I was trying to say. It was wonderful ! It wasn't a bad break up or anything. It was a beautiful "fling". A beautiful person who I was lucky to have known. Timing wasn't right. I didn't listen to the CD because it made me think of him and miss him too much. Answer: |

Was I abducted by alians? Question: On my trip to Sedona Arizona we passed 80 miles west of Rachell Nevada. This is very near what is commonly known as area 51. My husband was driving and I was playing some 60's cd on our cd player with my little dog Wahldo in my lap. At some point I checked my watch and it was 2hrs slow. This was in comparison to my husbands watch and the one in our car I do not remember anything strange happening except fot the time thing and my watch has worked perfectly ever since. PLEASE give me some of your thoughts on the subject. THANKS I am currently NOT seeing a shrink. I never said that I was abducted I just asked for your thoughts on the subject. And this IS yahoo answers... so questions need to be asked. Also I am a 6' 2" lovely wonderful woman and do not need attention from strangers so badly that I would make something up. Thanks so much for ALL of your responses thus far... Answer: Maybe your watch just died for a couple of hours, then it decided to start working again for some reason. Mine do this quite frequently, actually. Did you ask your husband if he noticed anything? If you ended up being abducted and remember it sometime, you should let me know, 'cause I'm fascinated by aliens! =] Good luck! |

California, Arizona, Nevada week long road trip ideas? Question: At the end of May my boyfriend and I are starting in LA (my boyfriend is going to be there for work so we are tagging 9days of holiday on, it makes it a cheaper holiday) driving a hire car to a motel in Joshua Tree (cant go far as I will have just got off the 11 hour flight), then on to Sedona for 2 nights, then Grand Canyon for 1 night (Tusayan I think the town is called) then onto Vegas for 2 nights then back to LA via Death Valley then 2 nights in LA before flying back to the UK. What are the main attractions or things to do in these places (best local bars/views/walks etc? We are thinking a cowboy type horse ride/cookout one day or evening in Sedona but apart from that and a few trail walks (what are the best ones) we just want to take our time to see the sights. Also I have heard there is a way of getting discounts for rides etc in Vegas? we would like to try the rides and things but I'd like to try and save a bit of cash if poss. Any ideas of things to do and see would be good, I'd hate to think there was something amazing that we missed in an area. Thanks Answer: May is a perfect time for Joshua Tree National Park. There are loads of interesting spots and fairly easy, short trails to enjoy. The drive from LA to Joshua Tree is not exactly exciting but tolerable. Joshua Tree itself is a very small town. There are a couple of small hotels and some bars. If you are staying there, you should go to the Crossroads Cafe. http://www.crossroadscafejtree.com/index.html Excellent beer selection and even better food! That said, you will pass through the town of Yucca Valley where there will be a wider selection of food and lodging and if you continue on through Joshua Tree, you will arrive in Twentynine Palms, with a wider variety of lodging and food compared to Joshua Tree. Twentynine Palms is also the main enterance and visitor center of Joshua Tree National Park. If you stay in Twentynin Palms, try to get yourself reservations at 29 Palms Inn. http://www.29palmsinn.com/ The food there was excellent the last time i was there. It is tucked away and can be a little hard to find so make sure you get good directions. Sedona I have not been to in a very (very) long time so I can't really add anything there. Tusayan, near the entrance to Grand Canyon National Park is a town of hotels basically. Since you will (or at least should be) spend the lions share of your day exploring and experiencing the Grand Canyon, you needs for food and a bed will be adequately met very near wherever you are staying. My personal choice would be to stay in either Williams or Flagstaff for a much wider array of food and lodging. Staying in Tusayan will make it easier to see the canyon at sunrise and/or sunset without the longer drive though. Also, look in to one of the hourish long bus tours in the Grand Canyon. The guides can be very interesting and quite entertaining. Wander around the village as much as you can and take a peek in the El Tovar Hotel. Take a short hike along or even better, a little below the rim. Bring some lunch and enjoy one of the most memorable meals you will have on your trip. (don't forget to bring a bag for the trash, don't litter the park!) For Vegas coupons , try here: http://www.vegascoupons.com/ Death Valley is another of my favorite National Parks. Will you be just passing through or spending some time in the park? If you can manage a tour of Scotty's Castle it is very cool! You have some very long drives in front of you! (JT to Sedona is about 6 hours and Tusayan to Vegas is almost as long) Make sure you keep an eye on the gas tank! There are some ver (VERY) desolate stretches of road. Keep some snacks and water in the car. And NEVER pass up a chance to go to the bathroom! You never know! LOL Drive carefully! Have a wonderful trip! |

Can you help me with itinerary for Arizona and California two week vacation? How long should I stay at each? Question: My wife and two children (7yr and 1yr old) are planning a two week driving vacation of the south west. We are leaving by car from Las Vegas Apr 20th. We are traveling on a low budget and love nature and hiking although with 1yr old we won't be doing anything super long hikes. We would like to see the following: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Petrified forest, Sedona, Grand Canyon, and Sequoia and Yosemite in California, Death valley and Hoover dam might be of interest too. We would need to be back in Las Vegas on May 2. I know this is a lot in this time but this may be our only trip to this part of the country and would like to see as much as we can. Can you recommend how to split up our time in each place and the absolute must see places at each? Answer: I've had the opportunity to visit all of the parks in your question. I've visited both Zion and Bryce three times, Petrified Forest and Sedona twice, Grand Canyon six times, Sequoia four times, Yosemite at least 16 times and Death Valley once. They're all worth visiting but your plan is overly ambitious, considering that you’re traveling with a one year old. I've been traveling with my two kids since they were infants. It’s fun but you also have to take into account the safety and well-being of a child whose only form of communication is crying. It takes patience and can be demanding at times. Take another look at your plan and consider the logistics. Your choice of parks will be partly determined by the season. In April you will encounter a lot of snow in Sequoia and the Yosemite high country which can make driving difficult (watch out for black ice). Both these parks require that you carry snow chains or cables in the car and be prepared to use them at any time. Access to some major scenic locations will also be closed. April is an excellent time to visit Death Valley, Zion, Grand Canyon, Sedona and Petrified Forest but Bryce will be cold and you may encounter snow/sleet/hail because of the park’s elevation. Because of the season and the amount of time you have available you should consider scaling back your plans. I suggest something along the lines of the following plan which I put together based on my own experiences. 4/20: drive from Las Vegas to Zion. 4/21: explore Zion Canyon. 4/22: drive from Zion to Bryce in the AM (short drive) and spend the PM exploring the park. 4/23: drive from Bryce to Torrey, UT with stops to see Kodachrome Basin State Park, Escalante Petrified Forest State Park and Anasazi Village State Park. 4/24: drive from Torrey to Moab, UT with stops to see Capitol Reef National Park and Goblin Valley State Park. 4/25-26: explore Arches and Canyonlands Island in the Sky District. Also visit Dead Horse Point State Park for the excellent views into Canyonlands. 4/27: drive from Moab to Mesa Verde in Colorado. You can stay in Cortez (cheaper) and drive into and out of the park (about 45 minutes one way) or stay at Far View Lodge in the park (more esthetically pleasing). Begin exploring the park by first stopping at the Visitor Center. 4/28: continue exploring Mesa Verde. Wetherill Mesa will be closed but Chapin Mesa is open and contains the bulk of what there is to see. 4/29: drive from Mesa Verde to Grand Canyon Village on the south rim. You will have the opportunity to pass thru Four Corners (for what it's worth). You should also consider making a detour to see Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park about 25 miles north of Kayenta on the way to Grand Canyon. 4/30-5/1: explore Grand Canyon south rim. Many people like to stay on the rim at places like the Thunderbird and Kachina Lodges. I don't care for the crowds and prefer to stay off the rim at places like Maswik and Yavapai Lodges. Maswik is closer to the village if you want to walk from the lodge instead of waiting for the shuttle bus. 5/2: drive from Grand Canyon to Las Vegas. You can stop at Hoover Dam on the way back. I really enjoy this area of the country and have visited these parks many times. My most recent visit to the area was to do some hiking in Arches and Canyonlands Needles District but the highlight of the trip was our hike to The Wave located in North Coyote Buttes in Paria Canyon. The Wave is one of a kind and we were extremely fortunate to get one of a limited number of BLM permits to access the area. Take a look at my plan and use it as a guide or take it as it is and tweak it to suit your family. I want to impress upon you that there is much more to see out there than our national parks. Often times the state parks are like mini national parks and just as enjoyable but on a smaller scale. Use the internet to investigate each area you intend to visit and plan accordingly. Research and advanced planning can make for a much more enjoyable trip. Don't worry about not being able to return to the southwest to see the places that you miss on this trip. After you see these parks you will make it a point to plan future trips to the area. Take it slowly and enjoy. One other thing. If you don't already have one get a good baby carrier so you can carry your infant and have your hands free. You need your hands free to see some of the Mesa Verde ruins. I used a backpack carrier when my kids were young. |

Damage on Rental Car? Question: So, my girlfriend went on a trip to Arizona and rented a car. She checked it thoroughly before she drove away. After a 3 hour drive to Sedona she noticed that a rear tail light was broken. Problem is, she didn't get insurance. Anyone have any idea how much this is going to cost her? Any chance they'll let her off? Should she call the rental company and tell them right away? Thanks in advance Answer: Why would the rental company "let her off"? She took the car to Sedona and brought it back with damage. In the absence of another guilty party, she's responsible for the cost of repairs. Depending on the type of car, a taillight lens assembly can be very expensive. Don't be surprised if they also charge her for the loss of revenue while the car couldn't be rented. |

The Heat in Tucson? Question: I'll be traveling to Tucson Arizona real soon (no escaping that), and I'm not too keen on the heat. I think I'm heat sensitive (I don't know if its just me but when I'm on my period my body temp seems to increase) ,although physically nothing is wrong with me, I just tend to get worked up about it. I HATE SUMMER. I'm noy used to such extreme weathers. Does anyone care to lend any useful tips as to STAYING HYDRATED? I'll also be enduring a long car trip from Tucson to Sedona. Not very fun for me, as I tend to get restless/anxious...being boxed in a car so long, with nothing but desert as my view. All insights, rants, and positive stuff are welcomed Answer: You are getting overly worried. Its not all that bad as it may appear. I live in the Phoenix area and have done several trips to SD, LA, Tucson and up north. Tucson to Phoenix is the only time you will see a lot of desert. But its just 1.5 hours. With a/c on and a small cooler with water and maybe gatorade, you will do just fine. Especially, since you will be driving north most of the time, the sun will never be directly on you (going to LA or SD in the evening is bad since the sun stares at your face).... AZ is hottest around 3-4 pm. Avoid those times. PHX to Sedona on I-17 is pretty decent and short drive. You will gain elevation and although it will be sunny, it will also be green and breezy. Have a good trip !!! |
