Personally, I'd nix the grater use the time/$ to visit (hike and/or
take a 4WD tour) the red rock area in and around Sedona
in the Sonaran desert. Others find the crater fascinating, but I thought
the privately run  hole in the ground attraction a waste of time and money--
it looks a lot like a quarry from the rim. As far as Winslow AZ goes, remember
the song may have been about being stuck there and trying to hitch out. ;-)

BTW, if you have a bit of time to kill there, the desert
museum in  Phoenix is certainly worth a visit- it's  minutes from the airport
and the people there are very informative.

The canyon is one of the few such attractions that is not overhyped IMHO--
I've been there several times, in different seasons, and it's been good
every time (both rims and one time on Christmas at the el Tovar hotel (kind
of a lodge type atmosphere). Viewing is best around sunset and sunrise.
