We are set to depart on our trip the the Grand Canyons this Friday afternoon. Both still working in the morning, planning to get to Guthrie (KGOK) by end of day. Will spend the night with our son, then leave in the afternoon to Albuquerque area, which is a distance that is doable and leaves not too long a leg the next day to Sedona.
First question: We do not particularly want to spend the night in Albuquerque, so we are looking for suggestions of nice places within about 100Nm of that area.
Second question: We plan to fly the next day to Sedona, but would like to stop and see the petrified forest (or whatever is worth seeing). The closest airfield is Holbrook. Can we get transport from the airfield (P14) to Petrified forest? Is it doable distance and time wise? Is it worth it? What is the minimum time needed to see the petrified forest?
We would like to spend the night and next two days in Sedona. What are the best things to do/see while at Sedona?
From Sedona we plan to go to Bar 10 (1Z1) for two nights. What are the best things to do/see at Bar 10?
We will not have time to go to and sleep over at UT25 (Goulding lodge) as we hoped to, but plan to fly that direction upon departing (just to see the area) next Friday. Is it worth the effort/distance? Monument Valley seems so beautiful from the pictures posted here!
We would like to be within about 300Nm from Wichita Friday night. Any suggestions where to stop for the night on our way to Wichita? (We will fly close to same southern route going from Albuquerque to Sedona for terrain clearance...that is my impression looking at the charts). I cannot get much above 11500 msl.
Any suggestions, advice very welcome.
Thanks.
Johan
