Hitting the road tomorrow for 10 days - tour of the Southwest
Would love to go to Baja, but obviously can't.
Going to Lake Mead, then through Flagstaff, and on up to the Valley of the Gods in Utah. Monument Valley and Goosenecks are very close by
(30-45mins).
Then swing back to Arizona going through Sedona and on to Scottsdale before heading home. Restaurants re-open on Monday in Arizona, so looking
forward to a a couple nice meals out.
Anyone with suggestions of what to see on the way would help greatly. Taking our KTMs.
The route

Picked this up today for the trip. Super cheap. $115/day. To drive business the RV place waved the cleaning fee, included taxes, unlimited use of
the generator, and only a $45 prep fee. Lots of deals out there like this.

All of Utah is amazing, especially the riding! I've only done Moab so not much help. Good deal on the trailer, smart way to go right now, enjoy.

Looks like a toy hauler. Keeping bikes in back? You're doing the right thing. And your kids love you. Let 'er rip.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

There are thousands of places to see and do, depending on your interests. E.g., Bryce is partially open. You should develop an itinerary with many
destinations, check to see if they're open. With the high temperatures, low gas mileage, you'll want to maximize your experience with a Plan that
works. E.g., unless you want to play golf in Flagstaff (open?), why there? See what's open in Sedona (parking permit needed for most trailheads too).
See if the Salt River tubing (E of Phoenix) is open; check the Tonto Natl Forest trails, campgrounds; there are many ghost towns in Nevada and Arizona
- 40 in the Bradshaw mountains alone. Dozens of hotsprings in Nevada.

Check out Alstrom Point near Page.

You won’t get your trailer in there, but you can drive out to it as long as it has not rained recently.

When you are on I-40 in CA and AZ turn on to old US Hwy 66 and give your kids a history lesson about the Mother Road. At the east end of Seligman, AZ
is a hamburger place that serves a great hamburger called Deladillo's Snow Cap at the corner of Lamport St and Chino St. If you get the same order
taker as I did be careful if you ask for mustard only. She scared the crap out of me. Great food with some old restored car to look at.

Another place would be Oatman. It's at the west end of 66 before the CA crossing. Old mining town with donkeys in the middle of the street doing what
ever they want to do.

Delgadillo's and Oatman
Tom's suggestions are good ones!
Delgadillo's - Angel Delgadillo - kind of an old guy now - was one of those who rekindled interest in Route 66 - A nostalgic place for sure.
Oatman - JZ - approach Oatman from the Mohave Valley side via Highway 95, coming in from the east (Kingman) the long trailer and the twisty road won't
get along.

I am glad that even ugly, defective dogs like your ugly cur can find an owner that will accept them 
Woke!

Your sick mind continues to impress

But attacking a man's dog???
Not acceptable in my part of the world.....
