So my wife and I are going on a vacation to AZ next month and I'm having a difficult time gauging an area we should stay. Here's what we're looking for...

A more upscale area. Obviously we don't want to stay in any questionable areas.

Nice hotels with plenty to do around the area. Hiking, etc. I know there the Grand Canyon but I'm not sure if we're gonna try and go there or not.

We'd rather not be right in a downtown area, but we don't want to be an hour away from everything either.

If anyone has any suggestions on areas, or nice spa like hotels, that would be great.

Thanks
Mel

Sedona, but just as a heads up and inviting are the roads seem to be a speeders paradise just don't fall for it watch out for the roller hills and curves as the highway patrol like to sit in the middle of the interstate and also just over the roller hills, if your going the posted or 5mph over it they should give you no flack about it.


here is a nice route.

Well I'm in WI and we already got snow. We wanted to go somewhere that is warm in Nov and didn't want to go out of the country since my wife is pregnant. We're planning on going to CA next year so we came up with AZ.

Cool. Will look into.

Thanks for the tip. Again the wife is pregnant right now so I probably won't be hitting any triple digit speeds.
