Northern Arizona is a great area. The scenery up there is incredible. Lots of trains rollin too.
I think Flagstaff is one of my favorite towns in the US.

I have ridden the Southwest Chief from LA to Albuquerque more times than I can count. It is very beautiful, and by train you see some of the most spectacular items, which you cannnot see by road. I highly reccomend it for everyone.
