I had a trip out to Arizona for Thanksgiving week.

I spent two at a great resort in Tempe. Two nights at the Grand Canyon. One night in flag staff and two more nights back in Tempe.

I did some great hiking at the Grand Canyon, which has benefited from stimulus funds. I visited a number of other National Park administered historic sites, monuments and parks as well. All seemed to have received stimulus funds for infrastructure work. The parks were:

Montezuma's Castle (ancient cliff dwellings)
Tuzigoot (Ancient Pueblo)
Wupatki (Ancient Pueblo)
Sunset Crater Volcanic Monument
Walnut Canyon (ancient cliff dwellings)
Painted Desert National Park
Petrified Forest National Park

Good stuff. A bit heavy on the ruins and culture. I prefer nature and hiking. I did get to see lots of elk, mule deer, wild boars, and pronghorn.

It's an easy trip flying in and out of Phoenix.
