Vacation in a few weeks.. We are looking to spend a couple of days in Sedona. Any recommendations on where to stay in Sedona? Any Jeep tour companies? Two adults and a 13-yr-old. Medium budget. We have the rest of the vacation pretty well planned out. Flying to Phoenix, Grand Canyon, etc.. Thanks a lot!! kyfdx

Replying to: growwise (Mar 13, 2007 6:00 am) Yup, its a 5.9L 6-cyl Cummins turbo diesel. Its kind of neat to drive, but sometimes I long for a gasser. Gas engines are no where near as fussy about maintenance as a diesel is. My truck gets cranky if I'm 1 mile late changing the fuel filter! Right now its got a hard start problem, taking it to the dealer tomorrow, its been fussy ever since the injector was replaced in Washington back in January. It'll pull anything I hook it to and doesn't do bad with fuel economy either. I get an average of 19 mpg empty and 12 mpg towing, not too shabby for a 7000 lb truck. |

I agree with Jeff. I lived in Phoenix back in the 80's and when it got too hot in the valley during the summer months, I'd take a day trip up to Sedona and Flagstaff to escape the heat. US 60 to Wickenburg, then north on 89 to Prescott. I think 89 splits at that point and you want to take 89A through Jerome (old, cool mining town built on the side of a mountain), then into Sedona. From Sedona north, you climb a couple thousand feet in not too many miles, IIRC. Flagstaff is at 7000', so the temp will be quite a bit cooler there than it was in Phoenix. Enjoy!

Replying to: michaell (Mar 13, 2007 11:25 am) One thing to keep in mind is that this time of year, related to that comment about elevation, is that it can be rather cold - even snow – both in Flagstaff & at the South Rim. My daughter & I did Zion & the Grand Canyon last April, and there was snow on the North Rim and the South Rim when we were there. I had been to the Grand Canyon before - 30+ years ago, when I lived in Southern AZ (in the military) - so took few pics, except of my daughter. And it is really hard to take a picture that captures even a portion of the grandeur (really) of that place. Only thing that had really changed at the Canyon since I was there before is that they have introduced Condors. Huge! ( 7 - 9 foot wingspan) We saw several, but never long enough to try for a great shot. ( Shooting birds in flight is a challenge anyway.) Just as we were about to board the shuttle bus to an area where no cars are allowed & just as we were boarding my daughter said: " LOOK CONDORS " I turned and shot quickly - focused on infinity, I expect - not on the birds. ( sigh ) But people have posted on some photography sites that they have spent days at the park & not seen any at all. Or only at long distance. Those 2 were ( briefly ) close to the main hotel \ lodge! Anyway . . Enjoy! - Ray Excellent trip. |
