Figure Grand Canyon for a day and then trying to decide what else for the other days. Sedona? Painted Desert? Petrified Forest? Staying in Flagstaff. Enjoy hiking. Anyone been around all those areas? Trying to get best bang for buck with the fam for a 4 day trip. Thanks in advance for any helpful tips

Mind blowing?
What did y’all do? I enjoyed Sedona for sure but the GC was the highlight of that trip. That truly blew my mind.

Go around to the North Rim. 1000 feet higher and 1/10 of the people.

Petrified Forest is nice. Southern part of the park is petrified forest, northern part is painted desert. Check out the little town of Williams, AZ. They have a section of Route 66 that is redone in a 50s/60s motif. Meteor Crater is also fairly close by.

Honestly, I’d stay in Sedona over Flagstaff. There’s more to do. Flagstaff has a great downtown area, but Sedona’s activities are more varied.
There’s a Buddhist temple and retreat center right off I-40 in Williams. They do tours some days. Check it out. It’s really cool.

Meteor crater is pretty neat too

From Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon take Hwy 89 in and Hwy 64 out or vice versa. You while there not a lot to do on the ride you see a tremendous variation on landscape. Hell it's like being on the Mars going into the Grand Canyon from the east entrance.
The more time you have in Sedona and Oak Creek, the better. It is truly an amazing place.

Go 56 miles east on I-40 and Stand on the Corner in Winslow Arizona. Pretty cool tribute to the Eagles. Go to the Chapel
of the Holy Cross in Sedona. You can take a train from Williams to the Grand Canyon that is pretty cool as well.

Definitely spend some time in Sedona but also check out Monument Valley, UT. Not hard to get to from the Grand Canyon.
Saguaro is also pretty cool but further south. Painted Desert and Petrified Forest are cool but also further south. You can just drive through these

When are you going?
Sedona is great, but in the hot months it is almost prohibitively hot for hiking. In late June it was over 100 after lunch. To me, the best part of Sedona was the drive from Flagstaff - the change of scenery is incredible as you drop in elevation.
Walnut Canyon is an awesome day trip and close.
Consider a second day at Grand Canyon. To me, the perfect way to visit is Day 1: Visit many of the viewpoints, stay away from visitors center, hike just a bit. Day 2: Go back to your favorite viewpoint and make yourself sit there for at least an hour. Hike more.
If you have the time, and it’s open, the North Rim is very surprising. It’s like an Alpine Forest that suddenly becomes a canyon - much fewer people.
