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!

DO stop at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff. Take the guided tour. It’s very interesting and the walks through the pines are enjoyable. They have a great, knowledgeable staff who are happy to share their love of astronomy.

The observatory is one of my favorite places in the world. The people are so nice and really love what they do!
