looking for driving advice - Arizona
I'm going to be in Scottsdale AR in April and I'm thinking of renting a Porsche and going for a day trip (possibly overnight) with the Mrs. while the grandparents take care of our son.
Can someone from the southwest, give me some advice on what would make a memorable drive? Also, anyone in Pheonix or Scottsdale know of a rental company that will rent me a Porsche or other suitable sports car? Thanks for the advice... Mike 81' 911 SC |

Head north of towards Flaggstaff but veer off towards Sedona and head up through Oak Creek Canyon. Take a camera.

Arcosanti...
On your way up or back from Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon, stop by Arcosanti and Cosanti to pick up a few Soleri Bells. Check the Arcosanti web site for the history.
   Don't forget...take a CAMERA.......

Check the "Soleri Bells" Web site. Beautiful one of a kind Wind Bells with individual sounding chimes.
I've had several for many, many years and whenever they chime, guests always hush to hear them.

I'm headed out Wed. to spend 4 days in the Canyon so I'm following this thread with interest.
