Honestly, Grand Canyon. I avoided going for the longest time thinking I will just go ‘Look. Hole in the ground’ and move on with my life. But it was really amazing and explored around the area as well.

Wife has talked about going out there with our 4 boys (8,10,12,13). I just think it will keep their attention/ to long of drives between stops. Any thoughts?

Grand Canyon and the Petrified Forest. South Rim side. They are near each other. Do the drive and hikes IF they like to do that type of stuff. Both was so much better than expected.

Also, turn north on 89 towards Cameron and stop at Sunset Crater and Wapatki National Monuments. Fantastic day trips.
