@Brick: How? I don't really care for them. I've never heard anybody mention it and I've never heard of it on television/net. I've been here 12 years.
@War: 10 days is pretty quick. As long as you saw everything you wanted to see. I would look them up but I don't have much interest in these things, I've been here long enough to not care for anything around me really, I prefer out of state places.
Um, Mesa Verde, Arches, Bryce Canyon & Zion are out of state for you.
Route 66 is the historic roadway from Chicago to LA.
Meteor Crater is just that, a huge meteor crater just outside Flagstaff. Very cool to see.
Mesa Verde is one of the many places where Native Americans built cliff dwellings into the sides of tall mesas - you can walk through some of them and gain insight into the lives of these people.
Arches is a park filled with natural stone arches and balanced rocks.
Bryce Canyon is another park with unique rock features called hoodoos.
Zion is a park similar to Yosemite in California in many ways.
Really, the Grand Canyon might be bigger, but some of these parks are more beautiful and have unique features you really won't see in many other places.
