What he ^^^ said.

I only lived in southern CA for about 20 months, but I had the pleasure of seeing the Grand Canyon (twice), Zion (absolutely gorgeous), Bryce (breathtaking), Death Valley (a place I'm *very* glad I visited), and Valley of Fire, near Vegas. Flagstaff itself (at least to me) is a pretty town, especially when the snow caps the mountains, and the small volcanic craters close by are not something you'll see in the northeast, Winston77. Plus, from nearby Williams, AZ, you can take the Grand Canyon train all the way to the south rim. I understand it's quite the experience.

Rockintime also correctly states that the view of the Grand Canyon is better from the south rim, which is obviously why it is more commercial. If you have time, though, seeing both "sides" of the canyon is something I'd highly recommend, if only for comparison purposes.

If you're heading across on Interstate 40, though (old Route 66) or you feel the need to go a bit further east, you can ALWAYS do what I did when I moved from KY to CA in '96.
