My plans are starting to come together. My daughter wants to spend a few days at Lake Powell, so I'm going to spend the night in Albuquerque enroute. For anything west of ABQ in the summer I like to take off at dawn and be done flying by noon. We'll have dinner on the top of Sandia peak just before sunset and watch the sun go down from there. After a few days at Lake Powell we'll fly south and check out Meteor Crater and the volcano fields. Sedona looks like a great place to stop after that. I like the idea of staying right on the airfield as it solves the problem of getting back and forth and will allow us to get an early start. From Sedona, it's about 5-6 hours flying time to get back home at Skylane speed.
