Pseudonymous High School Teacher has come up with a great new idea. Those of us who are all too poor to enjoy a vacation away this year, and anyone else so inclined, will post tips about traveling, or taking a stay-cation, where we live.
Sad news :( – a Northern Arizona University student died while hiking last weekend at the Grand Canyon. It is unbelievable how dangerous the heat and the terrain can be here until you actually experience it.
I thought the least I can do is tell you about a couple of other sight seeing alternatives available to you in Arizona.
Our family of four is a 4-quad family.
Mr. P rides the pink Barbie ATV; he's in touch with his feminine side.
The ugly one with the crate on the back with the missing beer may or may not be mine.
Our quads are parked at a spot overlooking our land near Snow Flake in northern Arizona. If you look out to the far right in the first picture, you can see Mesa Redondo. It’s a beautiful sight to behold.
In Arizona you pretty much have free reign to drive your quad down any dirt road you feel like driving on. You can rent quads here if you are visiting too!
You can also take a Pink Jeep Tour. I don’t know about any tours other than the Pink Jeep tours because they had me at ‘pink.’ Pink tours are available in Sedona and take you over the red rocks and through steep terrain.
The Grand Canyon tour is actually in a tram-type vehicle. It begins with Oak Creek Canyon, and offers one of the most scenic drives in America. It travels through the Ponderosa Pine Forest of Flagstaff, past the San Francisco Peaks, and on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
My advice is to rent some quads or take a jeep tour and hang on! Don't let a little heat and critters stop you from experiencing some of the best views the southwest has to offer.

Forget the tour, I WANT THAT PINK JEEP!
That last pic's a stunner! x
I was reminding Mr RK that he should not be out riding his bike (it was 108) because it's DANGEROUS in that kind of heat.
Where do you go riding?
Can I come down for a field trip? I'm not afraid of snakes and spiders and scorpions. I have good boots, too!
We went on the Jeep tour and it was brilliant! We also flew over the Grand Canyon in a helicopter. Wow. What a way to die!
Looks wonderful my Pouty friend.
Want to holiday with me??then pop and see our trips we had in Norway.
i've only ever stood at the north rim but one day i hope to return and see the canyon properly.
I think the Grand Canyon should be mandatory viewing for every American.
Isn't the pink quad fab? We go riding in the mountains up north. You all have an open invitation to come and explore with me. I'll even let you ride my pink quad, Imac.
And the North Rim is even better.
