Ward4HOF Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Gotta hit up "Whiskey Row" in Prescott - not sure what it's become, but 20-30 years ago, well, it's just what it sounds like. Jerome - old mining town I was always partial to Payson, AZ, and the Mogollon Rim area, for the scenery. And if you are going to bother to head out to Winslow, AZ, may as well go a little further and go check out Monument Valley. Another neat little area north/northeast of Phoenix, about 30 minutes, is Carefree/Cave Creek area... used to be some neat restaurants up that way. But if you are looking for the party scene, as was mentioned...Tempe... specifically Mill Ave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a big cigar guy also and there is a legit cigar shop right next to it. There was a great irish bar around the corner also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went there back in the mid-80s, as a teen I know I'm dating myself, haha. I forgot to mention Slide Rock just north of Sedona in Oak Creek canyon. That area is beautiful as well if you drove north of Sedona at all. Bunch of A-frames along the 'crik'... pretty neat. And those switchbacks on 89a just north of Oak Creek are no joke, as well. Sounds like a one-off vacation but if you ever go back and it appears you enjoy hiking, you should try the highline trail on the mogollon rim.
