if going up on the rez ie. monument valley.........do not miss hubbell trading post. this is where indians will come in off the rez and pawn jewlery/rugs/kachina dolls etc for cash. do not miss the pawn vault. this is the super rare stuff that never sees daylight. some good buys on rugs etc.
in tucson there are (2) saguaro monuments. (1) east and (1) west sides of town. the west side is in the haunted tucson mtns. haunted because of many apache depradations years old. ie. lots of whiteys killed. west side offers old tucson movie set. go out gates pass road. also down the road is the dezert sonoran wildlife museum. that is a must see. east side town offers reddington pass/sabino canyon. hot ticket is grab horses at stables by joe bonnannos(mafia dude) ranch and ride off into sunset.
i am an arizona native and your actually missing out on some of the most splendid country............the WHITE MTNS! if you want to see game/catch trout(germans/rainbows/brook/apache(salmo-apache native heat resistant trout) this is the hot ticket. big lake and the black river either fork east or west. greer also(town).
go into southern utah, and its another world. dont miss bryce canyon or zion. new mexico add another week. this is a huge state along w/utah and new mexico. plan on lots of driving!
remember at lower elevations during march warm up rattlesnakes will be coming out of dens hungry. and they get BIG! some are 15-20ft long! LOL! and they are EVERYWHERE! well maybe not 15-20ft.........more like 6-8 footers! taste like chicken!
