I have a few days in the Southwest planned for my birthday (7th-11th), and have scheduled waaayyyyy too much into them. I'm pretty indefatigable, so energy won't be a problem; time will be, however. Here's the plan:
7th: Arrive at Phoenix Sky Harbor airport at around 11:30, rent car, drive to Flagstaff and visit Meteor Crater or Sunset Crater/Wupatki National Monument. Check in at Hotel.
8th: The Grand Canyon. I'm dedicating a whole day here, but only one day. Wish I had more time for it.
9th: Drive back to Phoenix, stopping in Sedona early in the morning for a Pink Jeep Tour (Broken Arrow) and to explore the area (Grasshopper Point, Slide Rock State Park, Chapel of the Holy Cross, and Red Rock Crossing). Get back to Phoenix by 5 PM to drop off car and head to airport for flight to Anaheim. Catch taxi from John Wayne airport to Disney hotel. Explore Downtown Disney if I'm not utterly exhausted.
10th: Disneyland/DCA. Once again, only one full day, and once again, wish I had more time. Got a ticket to the Halloween Party over in DCA, so I've got 8 AM-midnight access for both parks. This should be enough time to check out everything I really want to.
11th: Head back to Disneyland for a few early morning hours (about 4) visiting anything I may have missed, then head back to John Wayne for a flight back to Phoenix. Land in PHX around 3. Visit Camelback Mountain and hike if not utterly exhausted. Head to hotel and rest until departing for home the next morning.
This is all tenative, with the exception of Disney and The Grand Canyon, of course, they're the main events. I'll take the other things as I get around to them, and if I miss something, not a big deal. Things I've already left out include: Walnut Canyon, San Francisco Volcanic Field (both near flagstaff), Schnebly Hill Vista (Sedona), Deer Valley Rock Art Center, and Encanto and Pupago Parks in Phoenix.
Guess I'll just have to come back some day. Still, I'm very excited. Anybody have suggested swaps or things which I should extend time for?
