Excellent Beginners Guide

I found this book to be a great guide for our one week trip driving around Arizona. Some of the places we visited include Phoenix, Sedona, Flagstaff, Cameron, North Rim, Page/Lake Powell, Navajo Reservation, Chinle, and Winslow. All of the places that I was interested in visiting were covered in detail in the book with lots of good tips, besides just what to eat and where to stay. We followed a lot of the recommendations in the book and had a wonderful time.
