Russell,

We found that Lake Havasu wasn't worth our time.  As Olin suggested, the
Grand Canyon is a definite *must see*.  If you are traveling from
Phoenix up to Flagstaff, you might find a stop at Montezuma's Castle or
Montezuma's Well (cliff dwellings south of Sedona) worthwhile.  THE
DRIVE UP THROUGH SEDONA TO FLAGSTAFF IS TRULY BREATHTAKING.  For a more
up close and personal look at cliff dwellings, stop at Walnut Canyon
just east of Flagstaff (about an hour or so of moderate hike to see the
whole place - take water).  Meteor Crater (already on your itinerary) is
worth the stop and won't take that much time.  Last time I was there,
they wouldn't let you hike down into the crater (apparently some gal
tried the climb in high heels with unpleasant results and their
insurance company intervened) but they didn't mind you taking a rim
walk.

Thanks Olin!  I'd forgotten how nice the redwoods are.  They've just
sort of become a part of 'over the river and through the (red)woods to
grandmother's house we go'.

Have a great trip!
