Speaking as someone who, two weeks ago, made the drive from Pheonix to the Grand Canyon, it takes a damn long time. Those mountains are tricky buggers to drive up and around. It didn't help that we had blizzards too. You can make it but fill up the tank when you can because there's not much for long distances.

Enjoy the trip. I love Arizona - usually travel there once a year.

If you're just using the AZ/GC as an example...egg on my face, oh well..


GO TO ARIZONA!!
