Thanks for the recommendation. We did several things, visited several places, and had a very enjoyable time.
Thank you!
Good luck.
Good luck? Now you have me wondering...:)
PS: Fargo, ND (my hometown) is a great place to visit, especially in the Summertime. Sunny & 76 here today...Take that Phoenix!
I as you may know live in Grand Junction. unless you really want to engage in lots of traffic go to the Denver boulder area. and its mass of people. there is significantly more to see and it is certainly more beautiful on the western slope.
my recommendation is that you enter the state on 160 going to cortez and stop at mesa verde. from there head east and north many mining towns one I recommend is creede. from creede north to lake city is a road that I think as the most beautiful in the state, it is truly the high plains, at 12000 feet.
after these areas look at your map and where to go, like the great sand dunes, etc. enjoy.
Grew up in Phx, It certainly was a different place back then (shot doves with Dad in the stock yards between Phx and Tempe) but can commiserate re: the summer weather.
Have a great vacation.
I promised myself I'd go parachuting when I turn 80. I figure if my heart gives or something happens and I die I have no complaints. :) A tall building is about the height or my height attraction. :)
We have a half-way decent system in Colorado, you see; we keep most of our hippies in Boulder, and Pearl Street is pretty much ground zero. The problem places like California have is that they let their hippies wander around loose. We keep them in Boulder, with small enclaves in Aspen and Nederland, and most of the rest of the state is blissfully unbothered.
Watch out for drum circles.
That's pretty much exactly what they are.
I guess you have had your fill of cooler temps of Sedona, Payson, Flagstaff, Prescott, Wickenburg, Grand Canyon, and (standing on the corner in) Winslow, Arizona.
Colorado went to Hitlery (and Obama twice.) Why give them your business? It's time for a consumer strike.
(My dad had problems with the altitude and gave it up after 6 months. Fortunately for me, he went back to the east coast where he met and courted my mother.)

This is why trip planning is rough for us. It usually starts with a tug of war (her wanting San Diego and the beach AGAIN) and me wanting to explore.
and yes, after 25+ years in Arizona it nice to get away from the state from time to time. In all these years we've never visited Colorado or New Mexico.
BTW, Hitlery won Colorado because of large wins in Denver and Boulder. She also won in city of Colorado Springs, but lost that county to Trump. He did well in southern, more rural areas of Colorado.

Have you visited southern Utah? I'm thinking about visiting there on my return trip from west coast to east coast. How about Idaho? I spent 6 weeks there on business (many years ago) and enjoyed every minute of the low humidity and cool nights. Don't know about festivals there except for the Snake River Stampede.
Colorado is a neighbiring state we never visited.
