Black Canyon City, Arizona is north of Phoenix. Before heading to the Grand Canyon, we wanted a week of warmer temperatures, be near a Costco to stock up, and order stuff on Amazon.

Sedona, Arizona is stunningly beautiful because of the red sandstone formations and pine trees. Its an extremely popular location because of the red rocks, spiritual pursuits, hiking, and mountain biking. We visited during spring break, so the area was especially popular.

Winslow, Arizona was a U.S. Route 66 town. I-40 eventually replaced U.S. Route 66, which is a busy trucking highway. We wanted to stay near Winslow so that we could visit Meteor Crater and the Homolovi ruins.

Prescott, Arizona is located in the north central part of the state. It was once the capital of the Arizona Territory. At about 5400 feet elevation, the weather was cooler than Tucson. We stayed near Lake Watson and enjoyed the hiking trail along the lake.

Picacho Peak, Arizona is a state park we stayed at on our way to Prescott from Tucson, Arizona. It is known for an insane numbers of Mexican Poppies and Desert Lupine. But, we were a couple weeks too early for the blooms. Our site was stunning, private, and spacious. A gem in the desert.
