Any tips for sights on road trip
I'm planning a road trip toward the beginning of May to celebrate my 25th anniversary. Am driving from Michigan to New Mexico and Arizona and back.
In New Mexico, I'm planning to go through Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Taos and Madrid on the turquoise trail. In Arizona I'm planning to go through Phoenix, Scottsdale, Cottonwood, Jerome and Sedona.
Anybody have some suggestions of places to see, places to stay or restaurants. I'm usually interested in the Arts, historic sights and general places of interest. I've been to Albuquerque before but not the others. Am reading through some brochures from AAA.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Any tips for sights on road trip
On a previous trip 8-10 years back we headed in through I-40 to Flagstaff and went to the Canyon. We hiked about 3/4 down the Bright Angel Pass and toured the entire South rim. On the way back we hit the Northeast corner of Arizona in Indian country and went to the Hubbell Trading post and did the Canyon De Chelly ruins near Chinle and headed up to 4 corners into Colorado and did the Mesa Verde ruins, Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Aspen and Vail heading home through Denver on I-70.
We missed Monument Valley which I regret and will miss it this trip also. We did a tour about 12 years ago through South Dakota and Wyoming to Yellowstone but skipped Jackson Hole. Some day I'd like to do a Utah trip hitting the Monument Valley, see the other side of the canyon and spend time in Moab with Dinasaur excavations. That trip I want to come in through the top on 2 and return on 94 and check out Montana on the way and see the Little Big Horn being there during a Rendezvous.
The Carlsbad cavern sounds like a nice side trip. We saw the Mermec caves in Missouri a long time ago.
I understand Phoenix has a botanical garden with lots of cactus. Jerome is an old cowboy town and Sedona is heavy into the arts.
We've seen allot of country that brings back good family memories. It is a surprise trip that my wife knows nothing about. Think I'll give her 3 days notice. She won't know that our daughter is flying out to Phoenix to meet us until the morning of. We're taking our dog, a yellow lab with us. Hope that isn't a mistake!
Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

Ken:
If we leave the dog behind in the car for any length of time, which will be real short, the car will be running with the AC on MAX.
