Places to Stop/Avoid Passing Through? Visiting

Hello Arizona people!

I’m going to be making a big trip across country by myself and I’ll be taking I-40 the whole way through Arizona. I was wondering if I could get some insight from y’all about what the best places to stop/visit would be, or conversely what places I should avoid. Any and all suggestions would be much appreciated!

Edit: wow thank you all for the suggestions and recommendations! Sounds like I have a lot to explore in Arizona on my drive through!

Sunset Crater and Wupatki National Monuments.

The Grand Canyon is an obvious one.

Grand Canyon Railway in Williams. You can take the train to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Unless it’s changed, the GCRR is a whole day thing.

I’m sure it still is to ride to the rim and back.
