not a bad drive but a long one,,my journey involved heading down to phoenix from the garnd canyon and that leg was simply gorgeous,,,oak creek canyon was remarkable and the sedona area is quite lovely as well

~~~in that short amount of time the only way to go is the helicpoter tour of the canyon takes about 2 hours from nuts to bolts

When we went, the locals knew of the lesser known entry spots of the canyon and I'm glad I listened.  There wasn't another soul around and the scenery was breathtaking.  Then I went back to sin city, lost a grand, and went home with my tail between my legs.

Just a note about those airplane/copter tours. They crash sometimes.

As much as it is talked about it is actually an under-rated place. It is simply amazing. Glad you enjoyed your trip.
