Two friends at work and I are trying to plan a Christmas trip to somewhere warmer than New Haven...and one of them says Arizona is where we should go.

 

All I know about Arizona is from old westerns and a Barbara Kingsolver book. I know it's got the Grand Canyon and other parks...but can anyone suggest places to stay or visit that won't blow a modest budget and won't just be tacky (why we don't want Las Vegas).

 

Thanks, all!

Thanks everyone. I have to ask you more questions!

 

My friends have come up with two more suggestions. One is Sedona, and the other is the Navajo reservation that Tony Hillerman wrote all his books about and that has some big canyons. Is that area too far north for warm weather?

Navajo country is too far north and too high up for a warm winter break.  But if you bring a warm jacket, it will be magical that time of year.  Sedona will be nice, but with cooler days so that you'll need a light jacket (but not cold enough for your winter gear).  Nights are nippy in Sedona.

 

If you want warm weather, Phoenix area is nice.  I personally enjoy Flagstaff more, largely because of the beautiful Sequoia cactus forest that surrounds it.
