I have AZ, NM and CO. Also NE.

How much time do you plan on being out West?

The reason I ask it that most people plan way too much, and spend all their time travelling between locations. You should figure 6-8 hours of travel time between places, since everthing is so spread out, and there are not a lot of roads to choose from.

The South Rim (of the Grand Canyon) has a lot of virtuals within easy access (i.e., along the tourist route, the West rim Drive, etc). Other virtuals require hiking into the canyon, some several days in length.

Since you will be close, south to Flagstaff and Sedona are recommended. Great places to visit, lots to see, great restaurants, etc. And lots of caches!

Day time temperatures can get into the 80/90 range yet, but overnight they will drop into the 40’s.

Need a local (Flagstaff / Grand Canyon) connection for hiking and or caching? I can provide some contacts.

Enjoy your vacation!
