This was a very good trip. Lots of options while we were there. Hiking in the dessert is a must if you are active and enjoy the out of doors. The dessert is simply beautiful and unique! In its own way! In January we hit a cool spell and we actually wore jackets in the middle of the afternoon. But so much more to do - the Grand Canyon, Sedona, the Botanical Garden, the Museum of the West, The Music Museum, Taliesin, Contemporary Art were all fabulous. And the food . . . wonderful. And Old Town was a destination in itself.
