I'm heading to Arizona with my 13 and 17 year old boys to visit my mom. She winters there and doesn't sightsee much. For those of you who have been there, what are the awesome things to do with kids other than the Grand Canyon...that's already on my list. Looking to make this a very memorable trip for them

In what part of Arizona does she live? Sedona is a very popular destination for sight seeing and is just a couple of hours (or less) of a drive from the Phoenix area. We have lots of parks with hiking trails, depending on how active you want to be. The weather is beautiful right now for any sort of outdoor activities.

Keep us posted about your plans and how it goes! I'm planning a Grand Canyon trip with DH sometime this year but know nothing about the area.....yet.

We liked stopping at Petrified Forest National Park. I don't know how close that is to where you will be.

Yes, Oak Creek Canyon is beautiful. The most popular spot there is Slide Rock. I grew up going there. However, I would avoid it now because the bacteria levels are very high.

My mom is in Coolidge. We are flying into Phoenix and will be all over the place...Yuma, Mesa, Flagstaff, Sedona and hopping the train to the Grand Canyon. My goal is to wear my kids completely out so they don't mind the return trip to MN in my mom's motor home.
