The I-40 interstate crosses the center of Arizona, skirting the
Navajo Reservation
that fills the northeastern corner of the state. Though the narrow strip of land to either side can be extraordinarily beautiful, with double rainbows reaching across the desert plain and fiery dawns blazing along the horizon, it holds few specific places worth stopping for until you come to the
Flagstaff
area. Itself a pleasant town, Flagstaff makes a base for several interesting excursions - to ancient
Native American sites
and the New Age mecca of
Sedona
, but above all to the
Grand Canyon
. Beyond Flagstaff to the west, there is once again little of interest.
